Product Overview
In Christian Witness in a Postmodern World, Harry L. Poe asserts that the difficulties faced in communicating the gospel are as much an opportunity as they are a challenge. While modern assumptions about rationality and authority no longer prevail, they have been replaced by a postmodern awareness of the spiritual dimensions of life, and a perception in the culture that the consumerist stuff upon which we have grounded our lives cannot offer meaning. Formerly we assumed that non-Christians held a scientific worldview that is hostile to the Christian message. Now we know that postmoderns have very likely had very little experience of Christianity, and hence that its life-changing story can grasp them in fresh and startling ways. In short, the postmodern world in which we live presents new and exciting opportunities to share the old, old story with a world increasingly hungry to hear it.
