Purpose-Directed Theology

Getting Our Priorities Right in Evangelical Controversies

Darrel L. Bock, Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, 2002


 

Padgett questions whether we should speak of "postmodernism," for in his view it is not a coherent enough articulated system to be an ism. He prefers to speak of a postmodern attitude or the postmodern, which "celebrates the demise of King Reason (including linear, 'scientific' thinking), the Independent Ego, Absolute Truth and any unifying (or 'totalizing') metanarratives (16-17).
