Understanding the notion of postmodernism is vital if we hope to touch lives with the truth of the gospel. Postmodernism is the popular development that followed modernity and moral relativism. As followers of Jesus Christ, we believe in absolute truth.
Moral relativism recasts the definition by asserting that all truth is relative.
It is a natural progression to move to the next step, postmodernism. Postmodernism does this by trying to reconstruct or deconstruct the event. As a result, history is rewritten or reconstructed in an effort to discover the people who influenced the events and how, as power brokers, they interpreted what took place. The result is confusion and chaos. I believe that people within our culture are asking this same question.
