1 | How would you respond to their claim? | Romans | kalos | 168255 | ||
I would tell postmodernists that by their own argument, their statement -- what's true for you may not necesarily be true for me -- cancels out their statement. This statement of theirs undermines everything they say. How can we know that their basic statement is true if there is no absolute truth, no objective test of truth? If there is no absolute truth, then there is no truth to what they say. (For much more information go to: www.oneplace.com/ministries/let_my_people_think/) |

Thanks Kalos, The same glaring flaw in their philosophy had occured to me as well. So far my direct experience with this phenonminom (SP?)has been nil. Nevertheless, I know that God has me in this study for a reason. Perhaps later on I will have something substantive to contribute to you all. John |

Postmodernism around us. John, I am sure "God has you in this study for a reason." As an artist in my 30's, I encounter postmodernism all the time. Maybe you will see it more clearly as you study it, for it shapes TV shows and movies and novels. I even have a children's book of "Goldilocks and the three bears" -- from one side, it tells it from the Bears' perspective; you flip the book over, you have it from Goldilock's perspective. There are two covers (front and back) so neither version is priviledged as the true account. The child must decide, or decide that there isn't enough information - thereby putting the question of "truth" aside, and just enjoy the tension in the story. Let me add: some postmodern elements aren't bad. It's ability to question abuses of power has been good for our world. It's ability to listen to outsiders is akin to our Christian call to care for the orphan, the powerless, etc. These, again, are opportunities. We must be more discerning and less reactionary in our response to Postmodernism. Postmodernism is not a systemic philosophy, but a general term for a range of traits and ways of thinking. |

Thanks "JRM", It's just that I am not certain where our leaders in my church are taking us with this study. I think the goal is to sharpen our perception regarding the shifts in the culture, so that we are not blind-sided when the arguements we have been acustomed to (those based on reason) are supplanted by the postmodern worlsviews. Thats my guess anyway :-) |

Sounds like a great study. I am delighted that your church is taking on these issues, and equiping the church to be effective. We have to know the times in which we live. | ||||||

Our new pastor is straight out of the Reformed Univesity Fellowship (a program akin to Campus Crusade)and has years of experience in dealing with academia, students and faculty alike. I find the experience quite a challenge. Please pray that our efforts will result in a harvest for God's Kingdom. John |
