In the midst of the cultural and intellectual upheavals of post modernity in Western society, evangelicalism finds itself in the middle of conversation about its own identity and future.
Whereas other books addressing postmodernism treat the topic in a traditional book form—an edited volume with essays—the format of this book seeks to place the discussion in a form that is consistent with its content. Using the motif of the weblog , A New Kind of Conversation is an experimental book that enters into this conversation with five evangelical leaders and academics (Brian McLaren, Bruce Ellis Benson, Ellen Harourunian, Mabiala Kenzon, and Myron Bradley Penner), who are the primary bloggers.
Originally posted on anewkindofconversation.com, people all over the world were invited to blog on topics relevant to the issue of postmodernism and evangelicalism such as:
- What is ‘Postmodernism’?
- Evangelical Faith and (Postmodern) Others
- Postmodernism and Spiritual Formation
- What is a Postmodern Evangelical?
The book is a condensed version of that conversation.
