Stanley J. Grenz - A Primer on PostmodernismConsumer Rating : ![Rating : /5]()
Price Range : $11.49 - $11.49
From the Academy to Pop Culture, our society is in the throes of change rivaling the birth of modernity out of the decay of the Middle Ages. We are now moving from the modern to the postmodern era. But what is postmodernism? How did it arise? What characterizes the postmodern ethos? Who are its leading advocates? Most important of all, what challenges does this cultural shift present to the church, which must proclaim the gospel to the emerging postmodern generation? Stanley J. Grenz here charts the postmodern landscape. He shows the threads that link art and architecture, philosophy and fiction, literary theory and television. He shows how the postmodern phenomenon has actually been in the making for a century, also introducing readers to the contemporary gurus of the postmodern mind-set. Scholarly yet accessible to all, this volume is an indispensable guide for understanding contemporary Western culture. | Merchant Offers |

What is postmodernism? What is postmodernity? More importantly, how does each one affect the church at the beginning of the twenty-first century? If these are questions you have been asking, this book will help. Stanley Grenz is a well-respected author and theology professor who has extensively studied postmodernism (the emerging worldview) and postmodernity (the context in which postmodernism is dominant). He offers this aptly named primer on the major tenets and socio-cultural implications of the epochal changes occurring in our society in the early stages of the twenty-first century. Grenz defines postmodernism, and traces its history from the late 1800s (Nietzsche offered some very viable criticisms of modernity before his death in 1900) through to the present, looking at the three major authors and thinkers who have shaped it. The three authors are Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Richard Rorty, whose writings are the de facto philosophy at many universities in America. While their philosophy is only a part of postmodernism, it can't be ignored when looking at the movement as a whole.One of the most important aspects for understanding postmodernism is placing it within the context of late modernity. The best definition of postmodernism is a radical distancing from modern philosophies about truth and knowledge, so Grenz examines some of the major tenets of modernity as well. He then juxtaposes the changes occurring in postmodernism onto existing modern concepts, offering a clear, understandable look at what postmodernism is really about. Thoroughly documented and extremely relevant, this primer will meet the needs of Christians at all levels, from Sunday School to higher education. More importantly, it will begin the process of helping the church truly learn how best to embody the principles and truth of the gospel in our new cultural setting, that of postmodernity. If we cling to the remaining vestiges of modernity, Grenz feels the church will become completely irrelevant. Understanding what postmodernism is will help us toretain and improve our relevance, and will enable us to reach out with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ.
