"The distinctive social and cultural developments of recent years are so familiar to us as to become inviseble." So write the editors in their introduction. Alghough no missionaries worth their salt would try to evangelize without first studying the cultural and spiritual background of their hearers, the church in the late twentieth century often does not being to understand modern and postmodern thinking.
At the second conference of the Lausanne Commitee for World Evangelisation in Manila, 1989, Dr. Os Guinness gave a paper on Faith and Modernity wich provoked great interest. As part of the response ot his paper a conference was held in Uppsala, Sweden in 1993, at wich an international group of experts probed more deply into the questions of modernity and postmodernity. Participants represented United Satates, Canada, India, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. They included such well-known experts as Os Guinness, James Houston, Lesslie Newbigin, Vinay Samuel, Elaine Storkey, David Wells. Each of them has contributed to this volume, covering such topics as: What is Modernity? Truth and Authority in Modernity Information Technology and Christian Faith New Age Modernity and Spirituality Modernity and Morality This collection of papers is offered as a resource and a challenge to the church fro its mission in the context of the modern world. |
