The Church and Postmodern Culture series features high-profile theorists in continental philosophy and contemporary theology writing for a broad audience interested in the impact of postmodern theory on the faith and practice of the church. Norman Wirzba challenges us to see the world not as nature but as the object of God’s daily concern and delight, and Christian Scharen equips pastors in the service of mission through an instructive primer on the influential work of Pierre Bourdieue. This collection addresses additional angles and questions in dealing with postmodernism and its impact on the church.
