Postmodern Philosophy and Christian Thought Summary

Postmodern Philosophy and Christian Thought by Merold Westphal

Are postmodern philosophy and Christian thought so diametrically opposed that never the twain shall meet? Or are various postmodern philosophies, in spite of their secular provenance, open to religious appropriation? These thirteen lively, original essays awaken secular postmodernisms and various modes of Christian thinking from their ideological complacency. An open space for passionate dialogue emerges from conversations that powerfully engage both intellectual and religious points of view.

Postmodern Philosophy and Christian Thought Reviews

[A] remarkably lucid analysis of the relationship between philosophy and science . . . I highly recommend it.
