In Postmodern Christianity, John Riggs proposes that postmodernism
and Christianity have much to offer each other. Each should take
the other seriously, he writes -- affirming the other's position
but avoiding complete acceptance or rejection.
On the one hand, he argues, we should take seriously the
postmodern challenge to the traditional view of God as omnipotent
controller -- one who directs the world to its predetermined end
according to "his" divine purpose. On the other hand, there is
merit in challenging the postmodern view that no universal claims
can be made irrespective of context and that no particular claims
can be made about what is good or true.
Riggs argues for a common ground between postmodernism and
Christianity, focusing on how this applies to issues such as
reproductive rights and the ordination of women, gay men, and
lesbians. He suggests that Christianity avoid the extreme positions
of either completely accommodating itself to or completely
rejecting postmodern culture.
