I find it fascinating to gain a little insight into how current day society works and what underpins a lot of the ideas floating around today. This specific book was easy to read and understand while also challenging my mind. It is a great resource for students and can be applied to many different disciplines. ( ) What does it mean to be a Christian in a postmodern context? Middleton and Walsh approach this question with clarity and grace. Divided into two sections, the text examines both postmodern thought (Derrida and the gang) and a Christian response. In all, a good introduction and balanced response to postmodernism, Trust is Stranger than It Used to Be helps shape a postmodern Christianity. B+ sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Voted one of Christianity Today's 1996 Books of the Year!The carnivalesque, pluralistic culture in hich we live can be seen as a consequence of the breakdown of modernity (which touted itself as the "greatest show on earth"), combined with a recognition of the socially constructed character of reality.Since the old construction has been discredited and is in a process of decomposition, the season is open on the construction of new realities which are produced with the speed and ease of temporary circus tents being raised. Far from witnessing the erosion or even eclipse of religious belief that the Enlightenment so confidently predicted, the eclipse of the Enlightenment has resulted in a veritable smorgasbord of religions and worldviews for our consumption.So Richard Middleton and Brian Walsh colorfully describe our postmodern setting. In this book they survey postmodern culture and philosophy, offering lucid explanations of such difficult theories as deconstruction. They are sympathetic to the postmodern critique, yet believe that a gospel stripped of its modernist trappings speaks a radical word of hope and transformation to our chaotic culture.The book for those who wonder what postmodernism is and how biblical Christians might best respond.
