Pop Goes Postmodernism by Michael Horton is the featured article at the ModRef website (which needs the old addy back guys.) Michael doubts that Post-modernism- as it’s yacked about in most evangelical circles- means much of anything important. I totally agree.

Call me dismissive, but I cannot get beyond the notion that pop postmodernism is little more than the triumph of popular culture with its obsessions with technology, mass communications, mass marketing, the therapeutic orientation, and conspicuous consumption. Postmodernism- or whatever one wishes to designate our brief moment in history- is the culture in which Sesame Street is considered educational, “sexy” is the term of approbation for everything from jeans to doctoral theses, watching sit-coms together at dinner is called “family time,” abortion is considered “choice,” films sell products, and a barrage of images and sound bites selected for their entertainment and commercial value is called “news.” This easily translates into hipper-than-thou clubs passing for youth ministry, informal chats passing for sermons, and brazen marketing passing for evangelism, where busyness equals holiness and expository preaching is considered too intellectual. It can account in part for homes where disciplined habits both of general domestic culture and of instruction in Christian faith and practice give way to niche marketing and where churches become theaters of the absurd.
