An Investigation of Postmodernism and Its Implications for the Contemporary Church

Abstract

Postmodernism is a philosophical idea that negates absolute truth, universal standard and traditional authority, but fosters personal experience, individualism and diversity. It poses great threat to the church. Its implications for the contemporary church include: disloyalty and attacks to the authority, self-deception, apostasy, individualism, moral laxity and excessive quest for material things. Church’s responses to postmodernism’s challenges are teaching on morality and truth, preservation of morality and good heritage, book publication and living an exemplary life.
