Comments on: The “Holy Grail” of Postmodernism http://www.christisall.org/2007/05/14/the-holy-grail-of-postmodernism-by-thomas-hohstadt/ Making Him Our Focus, His Word Our Foundation Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:11:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Jay http://www.christisall.org/2007/05/14/the-holy-grail-of-postmodernism-by-thomas-hohstadt/#comment-4209 Jay Wed, 06 Jun 2007 00:06:05 +0000 http://www.christisall.org/?p=151#comment-4209 I think that the author has a bit of a narrow (and perhaps misunderstood) view of postmodernism which is a very fluid term and hard to lock down. I think perhaps that he's confused with the ideas of post-structuralism, not so much postmodernism. While I think that postmodernism is somewhat of a self destructing theory and only can apply to humans (not God), it still can be a useful framework to discuss things within. For example, most people would describe the "home church" (for lack of a better word) way of doing things to be very postmodern. One only need to look at one of the descriptions of what postmodernism is to see that it fits. "The term Postmodernism was coined in 1949 to describe a dissatisfaction with modern architecture, founding the postmodern architecture, and later of, relating to, or being any of several movements (as in art, architecture, or literature) that are reactions against the philosophy and practices of modern movements.
