| dc.description.abstract | Kevin Hart provides with this book the classic primer for any novice to the subject of postmodernism. His style on the subject in a base and rudimentary way is akin to a series of undergraduate lectures. He introduces postmodernism in a manner that grants a beginner a relatively modest understanding of the subject. The volume contains seven chapters. The first four are devoted to theoretical questions on the subject: from an introduction to leading thinkers on postmodernism to issues of definition and dichotomy with other related concepts such as modernity, post modernity, post-humanist, and post-structuralism, among others. The remaining three chapters anchor a discourse on theology and religion, specifically Christianity. The questions that postmodernism pose to Christianity and vice versa represent the baseline of the discussions. Hart’s work is essentially a book that does not only introduce the concept of postmodernism; it analyzes the relevance and basic applications of key thinkers on the subject. The author goes further to elevate the postmodern discourse on religion as his primary thesis for the book. This is understandable given the controversial nature of religion and its narrative. Thematically the book has two main directions: A. Philosophical Origins of the subject of postmodernism with an attendant survey of the foremost thinkers. B. Postmodernism and its impact on and interpretation of theology and religion. | en_US |
