Turns out that it depends on how you define the terms. 12 interesting essays, but despite the editor's best efforts, they continue to talk past each other. The writers are either philosophers or theologians, primarily from the Reformed tradition. ( )
Despite Penner not fully realizing his hopes, I believe his text is an invaluable introduction for Christians who want to minister in our contemporary culture.
In our post-Cold War, post-colonial, post-Christian world, Western culture is experiencing a dramatic shift. Correspondingly, says Myron Penner, recent philosophy has taken a postmodern turn in which traditional concepts of reality, truth, language, and knowledge have been radically altered, if not discarded. Here James K.A. Smith, John Franke, Merold Westphal, Kevin Vanhoozer, Douglas Geivett, and R. Scott Smith respond to the question, "What perils and/or promises does the postmodern turn hold for the tasks of Christian thinkers?" Addressing topics such as the nature of rationality and biblical faith, the relationship of language to reality, and the impact of postmodern concerns on ethics, this book presents a variety of positions in vigorous dialogue with each other.
