“Postmodernism: A Kairos Movement?” by Michael Craven

Many solid conservative evangelicals possess a fairly negative view of postmodernism (my self included) but maybe there are some points in the postmodern worldview that we need to appreciate. Let me illustrate my point by providing the following quote from Craven’s commentary:

“But in fact, we all posses certain presuppositions based upon our contextual experiences that shape our interpretation of the facts. Our presuppositions often only rely on reason up to a point from which we all inevitably employ a form of faith. Thus human reason alone is limited. So according to the postmodern, both the Christian and the Atheist hold to beliefs that ultimately rest on faith. This is true. Postmodernism restores faith [revelation] as a legitimate source of knowledge equal to the modern's logical positivism, which limits knowledge to only scientifically provable facts.”
