The only thing worse than those who evaluate postmodernism is postmodernism itself. Derrida has been the leading postmodern thinker of our time, especially in France and Europe. His “Grammatology” is the foundation for saying that language, written or spoken, never passes on to the reader or listener anything that can be called “fact” because words […]

Postmodernism and Social Inquiry
Twelve sociology and humanity professors from ten major universities contributed to this book. You find this kind of book in the philosophy section at Barnes & Noble. After having read many Christian men write on postmodernism, I am in the process of reading both the original sources and also non-Christians who are evaluating them. There […]
Truth, Evangelism & the Postmodern Mind
This is a 3-tape series of messages presented at Trinity International University’s May 1998 conference “Telling the Truth: Evangelizing Postmoderns.” These messages are going to be part of a book coming out this year. You can buy the tapes through the Ravi Zacharias Ministries. Two tapes are by Zacharias and one is by Carson. Both […]
Postmodernizing the Faith
This is a 1998 Baker book from a well-known theologian and author. Erickson admits that this is not his final word on the subject and that such a response is coming in the near future. This is a review of six leading writers on postmodernism, ranging from David Wells who adamantly opposes postmodernism as a […]
Christian Belief in a Postmodern World
Allen is Professor of Philosophy at Princeton Theological Seminary and is becoming a well-known author and lecturer. This is more a book on apologetics than on postmodernism yet he is arguing for a mode through which we might reach this present generation. Though for Allen, lost man is not compelled to conclude God’s existence through […]

This is a ‘93 edition of the ‘81 book by the son of Francis Schaeffer. I have always enjoyed Francis, and Franky has a lot of his father in him. I do find Franky to be more caustic and possessing less patience with us Philistines than his father. He is, however, obviously well-versed in the […]
The Soul in Cyber-Space
I have always enjoyed Groothuis in the area of apologetics and contemporary issues. This 1997 Baker book is a must for all who have to travel in computer worlds. As many such writers, Groothuis rehearses the decline in rational thinking from reading and digesting words in books to listening without seeing words on radio to […]
The Challenge of Postmodernism
This is a collection of twenty-three essays on this subject. Most of them were originally delivered at the 1994 spring Southeastern Region meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, hosted by the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. There is a wide range of viewpoints represented but all sound a note of urgency about presenting […]
Christian Apologetics in the Postmodern ...
This is a more diverse look at the church’s mission to the postmodern man from two theology teachers at Wheaton College. Of the thirteen contributors to this volume, not all are conservative in their approach although Wm. Lane Craig’s chapter on Christian Particularism and free will is worth the price of the book. Phillips and […]
Technopoly
Technopoly is a condition that exists when technology begins to control too many areas of human life. But, of course, that is a ‘‘catch 22’’ situation. We need and usually desire to have technological advantages but we often hate what they do to our lives. The clock was invented to regulate the prayer time of […]
