4.0 out of 5 stars
an important evaluation of postmodernism, 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I have read this book with pleasure: It is not too difficult, it is written by many writers with their own style. I think the writers have written this book especially for Christians, for example students, parents with children, sick people who wants to know more about health care, and so on. The strength of this book is that it shows the important impact of postmodernism on many topics in our society, I have learned much. Its weakness is the less philosophical content, in this book it is for me not clear for which reasons christianity is the third way besides modernism and postmodernism. Is it the only alternative? Because this is not very clear and there is no good (philosophical) foundation, sometimes the arguments are somewhat fideistic, although the writers are against fideism. If you want to know more about the philosophical foundations, then you have to read other books. I highly recommend this book, especially for Christians. It can open your eyes for many developments in society and churches. Also non-christians who are interested in postmodernism, modernism or perhaps christianity will have pleasure by reading this book.

Please read and understand our culture!, 24 Mar 1999
By A Customer
First of all, I appreciate it so much when authors will write books on very difficult, abstract subjects in such an easy to understand way. Don't let the title or subject material scare you...you'll probably be able to get through it with no problem. They explain the common views (modernism, post modernism, and christian) on some of the most important areas in life (religion, law, health care, education, etc). There's also tons of references for further reading. I was very unfamiliar with these subjects, and feel that I now understand the basics of how they developed, the present impact and the future impact of these ideologies.
