Description
Crystal Downing presents an informative introduction to postmodernism though a historical description of the faults inherent in much of modernist thinking. The main thrust of this lecture is to show that rather than being a threat to the Christian story, postmodernism validates the importance of differing stories in the search for relative truth.
