thoughts on "Postmodern Gnostics" "To speak of the rebirth of gnosticism in contemporary culture is one way of coming to theological terms with the moral and intellectual world of modernity and postmodernity." Professor Roger Lundin (a guest on multiple volumes of the MARS HILL AUDIO Journal) explores the manifestations of gnostic assumptions throughout history while developing a theological understanding of modernity and postmodernity in a chapter from his book The Culture of Interpretation: Christian Faith and the Postmodern World. In the chapter, titled "Postmodern Gnostics," he defines gnosticism as it was first known, traces its survival in various zeitgeists throughout the ages, and explains how the peculiar contemporary concerns for the autonomy of the self and the deification of language are part of this age's flirtation with the ancient philosophy.  With the permission of the book's publisher, Eerdman's Publishing Company, MARS HILL AUDIO is pleased to offer a downloadable copy of "Postmodern Gnostics." This article is part of a continuing series of articles available on our web pages, some of them original, some of them reprints. |
