“Postmodernism represents a rejection of the Enlightenment project and the foundational
assumptions upon which it was built.”

A Primer On Postmodernism
“In some sense evangelicalism – with its focus on scientific thinking,
the empirical approach, and common sense – is a child of early
modernity.”
![Page 4: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
“This phenomenon marks the end of a single, universal worldview. The
postmodern ethos resists unified, all-encompassing, and universally valid
explanations. It replaces these with a respect for differences and a
celebration of the local and particular at the expense of the universal.”
![Page 5: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
“Postmoderns feel comfortable mixing elements of what have traditionally been considered incompatible belief systems.”

A Primer On Postmodernism
“We are witnessing a transition form an industrial society to an
information society, the symbol of which is the computer.”

A Primer On Postmodernism
“The central hallmark of postmodern cultural expression is
pluralism.”

A Primer On Postmodernism
“Exposure to the postmodern ethos through pop culture is itself
characteristically postmodern.

A Primer On Postmodernism
“By replacing the modern worldview with a multiplicity of
views and worlds, the postmodern era has in effect replaced
knowledge with interpretation.”
![Page 11: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
Postmodernism as the end of the “Metanarrative.”

A Primer On Postmodernism
The Gospel & the Postmodern Context
![Page 14: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
“Evangelicalism shares close ties with modernity. A child of the
Reformation, pietism, & revivalism, the evangelical movement was born
in the early modern period. And North American evangelicalism
reached maturity in the mid-twentieth century – at the height of
the modern era.
![Page 15: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
“Evangelical presentations of the gospel have often been
accompanied by a rational apologetic that appeals to proofs
for the existence of God, the trustworthiness of the Bible, and
the historicity of Jesus resurrection.”
![Page 16: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
“Evangelical systematic theologies have generally focused on the
propositional content of the faith, seeking to provide a logical
presentation of Christian doctrine.”
![Page 17: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
“Postmodernism questions the Enlightenment assumption that
knowledge is certain and that the criterion for certainty rests with our human rational capabilities.”
![Page 18: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
A Post-Individualistic Gospel
Our faith is highly social. What people want to see are a people who live out the gospel in
wholesome, authentic, and healing relationships. We invite others to become
participants in the community of those whose highest loyalty is the God revealed in Christ.
We work together for a whole and healed world. It’s about more than just me.
![Page 19: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
“Our gospel must address the human person within the context
of the communities in which people are embedded.”
![Page 20: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
The individual-within-community

A Primer On Postmodernism
A Post-Rationalistic Gospel
It’s not anti intellectual but reason isn’t the only thing. Intuition and experience are important. Mystery is embraced. We will no longer focus
on propositions as the central content of Christian faith. It’s more than just a system of
beliefs that are right.
![Page 22: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
Mystery is embraced.

A Primer On Postmodernism
A Post-Dualistic Gospel
In post-modernity saving “souls” is not the only or even the main concern. We are interested in the human person as a unified whole. Our
identity includes being in relationship with others, with God, with nature, and with
ourselves.
![Page 24: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
Soul vs. Body Sacred vs. Secular
![Page 25: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
A Post-Noeticentric Gospel
The goal of our existence encompasses more than just the accumulation of knowledge.
Knowledge is good only when it facilitates a good result. We refuse to allow commitment
to Christ to remain merely in intellectual endeavor, a matter solely of assent to
orthodox propositions.
![Page 26: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
The Christian gospel is concerned not only with the reformulation of our intellectual commitments but
also with the transformation of our character and the renewal of our
entire lives.
![Page 27: Leadership in a Postmodern Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681622d550346895dd259e4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A Primer On Postmodernism
Orthodoxy must lead to Orthopraxy.
We encourage people to believe in Jesus and to also follow the “way” of
Jesus.

Experiential
It is one thing to talk about God. It is quite another thing to experience God.
32% of all stripes of regular churchgoers have never experienced God’s presence in worship.
