- catalog abstract "What happens to evangelism when old assumptions about how to present the gospel no longer work? How do you bear witness to Jesus Christ when rational argument and external authority no longer bear much weight among those to whom you are speaking? You start, says Harry Lee Poe, by recognizing that the situation is as much an opportunity as it is a challenge. While modern assumptions about rationality and authority no longer prevail, they have been replaced by a post-modern awareness of the spiritual dimensions of life and a perception in the culture that the consumerist "stuff" upon which we have grounded our lives cannot offer meaning. Formerly we assumed that non-Christians held to a scientific worldview that is hostile to the Christian message. Now we know that postmoderns have likely had very little experience of Christianity, and hence that its life-changing story can grasp them in fresh and startling ways. In short, the postmodern world in which we live presents new and exciting opportunities to share the "old, old story" with a world increasingly hungry to hear it. -- Book Cover".
