Postmodern Times: A Christian Guide to Contemporary Thought and Culture by Gene Edward Veith Jr., Marvin Olasky

informative medium-paced

2.5

Despite being very informative on what constitutes postmodernism and what the consequences of such a world view are, it is ultimately very disappointing. Its descriptions and critiques of it are fine, helpful and thorough but at the same time come from a distinctly conservative framework. Thus all its examples of the negatives of it as a worldview and its inherent dangers are all, without fail, taken from a democratic, left wing and liberal political view. I find it hard to believe that there aren’t examples also in a republican, right wing and conservative political viewpoint. It ends up reading like a defense of right wing p I’ll optical and moral persuasions rather than a critique of postmodernism.
