Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.\u00a0 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.\u00a0 And when they heard these sayings they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying Great is Diana of the Ephesians.\u00a0 And the whole city was filled with confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acts 19:25-29<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christians have often been faced with the choice of joining in with the meaningless applause of the crowd or quietly withdrawing.\u00a0 From the recent applause for Princess Diana, in the wake of her tragic death, I will have to withdraw.\u00a0 And yet the applause itself, gushing from an otherwise apathetic world, is in itself amazing.\u00a0 Actually, it is all too typical of a postmodern age.<\/p>\n

A half century ago, Britisher C.S. Lewis wrote, \u201cWe Britons should rejoice that we have contrived to reach much legal democracy without losing our ceremonial Monarchy. . . Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters.\u00a0 For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Just as the Christians in Ephesus had to endure two hours of incessant truckle to an earlier Diana, we have been subjected to the same and not for far different reasons.\u00a0 An honest and frank look at Diana of the Ephesians would not only have exploded a lot of selfish philosophy, it just plain would have cost too much!\u00a0 Never mind that Diana of the Britons was on the one hand a princess and on the other an adulteress; on the one hand a Brit and on the other ready to marry a Muslim; on the one hand a mother and on the other hand absent; with the one hand holding a starving baby and with the other a Hotel Ritz wine glass.\u00a0 The amazing thing to observe is how the world not only accepts the apparent contradiction but lauds it rather than the death of more consistent servants.<\/p>\n

We no longer fight modernism as a society nor as Christians.\u00a0 The generation before us is a postmodern generation, disliking modernism in society as much as the Christian disliked it in theology.\u00a0 If Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher represented the rugged individualism of a modern era, Bill Clinton and Princess Diana represent the \u201cgroup think\u201d (to use Orwell\u2019s term) of a postmodern era.\u00a0 At least with our liberal friends we could reason on the basis of truth and lie, history and make-believe, manners and profanity.\u00a0 But there is no truth, no deportment, no morality to a postmodern.\u00a0 To him, there is absolutely no contradiction between being an adulterer and being a humanitarian.\u00a0 In fact, to criticize is far worse because the accuser has arrogantly imposed his out-dated morality on someone else and has injured the accused by implying he is inferior in knowledge.\u00a0 In this system the only absolute is that there are no absolutes.<\/p>\n

Ironically, the more one would criticize Diana for her moral inconsistencies, the more he would become guilty himself and deify Diana.\u00a0 Gene Veith, Jr. writes, that to a postmodernist, \u201cSuch concepts as moral responsibility and individual freedom are thus also illusions, shaped by our Western bourgeois culture.\u201d2<\/sup> For example, in education we now have \u201cfacilitators\u201d who help us find our truth rather than \u201ceducators\u201d who tell us truth; in philosophy we do not speak of \u201cmorals\u201d which would be black and white but rather of \u201cvalues\u201d which can change from person to person.<\/p>\n

The postmodern person lives in virtual reality (a world in which we live without blame or responsibility).\u00a0 Douglas Groothuis notes, \u201cIn the decentered self of assumed, online identities, the artificial is offered as the only option for the postmodern soul.\u00a0 There is no \u2018real me,\u2019 no trustworthy pattern for moral and spiritual improvement.\u00a0 All is negotiable, exchangeable, and multiple.\u00a0 Integrity becomes impossible; the ideal of virtuous character recedes even as the heart yearns for a self to call its own.\u201d3<\/sup> To live a double life becomes a mere, hollow anachronism.<\/p>\n

A look at the ancient Diana of the Ephesians brings startling comparisons.\u00a0 The Greeks knew Diana as Artemis, while Diana was a Roman name.\u00a0 She was armed with bow and arrow and yet as a virgin goddess was the protector of young girls.\u00a0 Unger, however, says that Diana \u201cof the Ephesians\u201d was actually an Asiatic goddess who was a counter-part to the Phoenician Ashtoreth.4<\/sup> She was the \u201cimage which fell down from Jupiter\u201d (Ac 19:35).\u00a0 She had the image of the Greek Diana but the private life of Ashtoreth.\u00a0 She had the image of being a helper of the poor, but \u201cbrought no small gain unto the craftsmen\u201d (Ac 19:24).\u00a0 She had the image of being a Greek, but sold her soul to the Asian Mother-Son worship.\u00a0 Diana of the Ephesians was not the classical Greek goddess, but the new era goddess for Ephesians of the age.<\/p>\n

I contend that Diana of the Britons was not the Princess of modernism, but the princess of postmodernism.\u00a0 She was a walking contradiction to the manners of an older age and yet she was the champion and hero of the newer age, an age that has long ago eliminated the possibility of being contradictory.\u00a0 The postmodern age loves what was once considered hypocritical.\u00a0 It has found a way to feed the flesh, the pocket-book and the ego; to have its cake and eat it too.<\/p>\n

Albert Mohler has written, \u201cPostmodernism is, in reality, modernity in its updated costume, a hypermodernity made all the more seductive by its sophisticated dress.\u201d5<\/sup> The danger lies in the beauty and charisma of a Diana as opposed to the stodginess of the Monarchy.\u00a0 The world will always stand and cheer for a person like that.<\/p>\n
