Description:

In a lively engagement with literature, philosophy and art, Crystal L. Downing introduces students to what postmodernism is and where it came from, aiming to show how Christians can best understand, critique and even benefit from its insights. Drawing on her own experiences as a graduate student and careful research into the primary sources, she believes the challenges, questions and insights of postmodernism can contribute to a deeper and clearer grasp of our faith.
