Defending real reality in postmodern perspectives
http://www.metacatholic.co.uk/ 2008/ 05/ defending-real-reality-in-postmodern-pe…After a short break, Stephen comes back swinging in response to this post. Fascinatingly, he seems to me to be just as good, if not better, at putting words into my mouth as he claims I am at putting a caricature of his argument into his. I won’t attempt to sum up his argument this [...]

The Emerging Chruch Movement
http://dtbrents.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ the-emerging-chruch-movement/The world is radically changing and the church must radically change with it Emergents believe postmodernity represents a dramatic break with the past and that only an extreme transformation in the church can keep the church relevant and effective in this environment.

James K.A. Smith is on my radar as well!
http://21stcenturytabletalk.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ james-ka-smith-is-on-my-rada…Dr. Clark critiques him (rightly I must add, though not without some quibbles). D.A. Carson in his new book Christ and Culture Revisited responds to Smith's work as well! (Page 99-113, Christ and Culture) Smith is the author of, among other books, Who's Afraid of Postmodernism?

Free Thinker Interviews Ophelia Benson of "Butterflies and Wheels"
http://integral-options.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ free-thinker-interviews-ophelia-…Ophelia Benson's Butterflies and Wheels blog has become quite popular. Benson is co-author of Why Truth Matters and The Dictionary of Fashionable Nonsense, and associate editor of The Philosophers’ Magazine. While originally focusing on relativist postmodern targets, um, topics, she also has began to address material from the religious crowd (both foreign and domestic).

Fred Thompson, Postmodernism, and Change
http://www.calebohara.com/ 2008/ 05/ fred-thompson-postmodernism-and-change.htmlToday I found out that Fred Thompson was going to be writing for Townhall.com. As I read through his first blog post I found his words to be profoundly parallel with the church. Notice what he says in the context of thoughts that have been confirmed to him in the process of the presidential race:

On Being a Pomospiritual Pastor
http://thirdwatch.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ on-being-a-pomospiritual-pastor/I made that word up. Being a pomo isn’t easy in the church these days. There are a lot of negative stereotypes and bad connotations seem to fill every conversation. Matt Scott’s having to explain himself (click here). Perhaps his explanation will help those of you who are lost with my Postmodern Faith series.

Priya Venkatesan ‘90, a former Writing 5 lecturer and research associate at Dartmouth Medical School, is threatening to name seven of her former students in a potential civil rights lawsuit against the College, DMS and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Venkatesan announced Friday….

The Silver Chair
http://nonmodern.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ silver-chair.htmlThe middle book in the order of publication (and the order they should be read) is almost the best of the lot. (As this is a blog from a missional perspective, of course The Horse and His Boy is the best.) In the third direct sequel to Lion, we see an adversary on the par of the White Witch in the Lady of the Green Kirtle.

The Postmodern Gospel
http://pjcockrell.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ the-postmodern-gospel/“The postmodern individual may be the easiest sinner in 200 years to interest in the faith. Yet he is capable of living with contradictions. He can claim to have received Jesus but not believe in his historical existence. He can claim to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture but deny absolute truth.

Created for Hermeneutics–Part I
http://johnmarkhicks.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 15/ created-for-hermeneutics-part-…Over the next several posts, I will explore some dimensions of theological hermeneutics. I’m not sure where I will go with this or have sufficient time to devote to it, but I would like to lay some foundations as well as process some theological-biblical methodology.
