3.0 out of 5 stars A useful introduction, with unhelpful conclusions., 14 Jul 2005
By D. Masters - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Honeysett provides a useful introduction to postmodernism for the evangelical Christian. He clearly explains the theories of some of the major 20th century post-modern thinkers, and analyses the implications of these theories to the beliefs of a funtamental Christian.

Rather than embracing the advances of postmodernism, Meltdown rejects them outright. In writing the book, Honeysett has failed to consider the history of Christian thought, nor looked at the culture-specific and time-specific nature of the Christian faith. Honeysett sees postmodernism as an attack on the very foundations of his belief, rather that recognising that his beliefs are as much a result of modernism as Christianity.

This book gives an insight into fundamentalist Christian thought. However, for those interested in the real ramifications of Postmodernism on evangelical Christianity, I would recommend the books of Brian McLaren.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth, not tolerance, 11 Dec 2008
By Gary (England) - See all my reviews
"Meltdown" is a book that every Christian should read if he/she wishes to keep a clear head in our ever-unblinking culture of consumerism and death. I would go so far as to call it a masterpiece of sorts. The book explains how and why your TV set is trying to mediate your reality, and how the political correctness of postmodernism (the zeitgeist) has undermined every aspect of modern thought and led us all into a deep moral fog.

Honeysett talks at length about society's blind acceptance of homosexuality and how the deconstruction of gender allows paedophilia in by the back door (Michel Foucault, one of postmodernism's key exponents, was himself both a homosexual and a paedophile); how society has downgraded our understanding of virtues and values; how we are losing our critical faculties and are addicted to worthless commodities and ironic lowbrow entertainments; how our country is now so screwed up that it regards Jesus Christ as an oppressor and someone not to be trusted; how television destroys all rational thought; how many universities attempt to corrupt young minds by denying truth; and how most people aren't even aware of the influence postmodernism has on their lives.

Regarding an earlier review, it's easy to see why someone who admires Brian McLaren would struggle with his book. McLaren preaches a false gospel; Honeysett does not.

The writing is on the wall. Postmodernism touches everybody and "Meltdown" is a wake-up call for the church.
