God's Mission and Postmodern Culture - The Gift of Uncertainty (Paperback)

Postmodernity is a name that has been attached to our cultural
milieu. Among its features are a sense of historical consciousness,
a recognition of the social construction of knowledge, an
appreciation for pluralism, and a suspicion of grand narratives. It
is a cultural worldview that is naturally suspicious of Christian
"mission." Meanwhile, conservative Catholics are equally suspicious
of postmodernism, associating it with relativism, secularism, and
syncretism). Drawing on his own mission training and experience,
John Sivalon believes the gospel can and must be inculturated in
any culture, and he believes that postmodernism, rather than
rendering Christian mission meaningless, breathes fresh insight,
vision, and life into Vatican II's notion that mission is centered
in the very heart of God. Above all, postmodernism offers "the gift
of uncertainty"--the ground of questioning, Why are we doing this?
What should we do? How is it best done? With actual case studies
that reflect the new face of mission, Fr. Sivalon offers a hopeful
vision of how the Gospel retains its challenge and relevance in an
age of uncertainty and change.
