What is
Modernism and Postmodernism
?Slide35
Three Views of Truth
Pre-modernism
– God-centered universe, revelation,
truth is absolute
.
Modernism
– Enlightenment, science,
truth is relative
.
Postmodernism
– loss of hope for truth,
truth is created
.Slide36
Is Truth Exclusive
? Postmodernism says no
Law of
Non-contradiction-
The
idea that
“there
is no
truth”
cannot be true, because to affirm this idea is to assert a truth (it is true that there is no truth
).Slide37
Biblical Thinking
2 Corinthians 10:5
“
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
.”Slide38
