Postmodernity: Christian Identity in a Fragmented Age
More than a guidebook to the postmodernity
debate, Lakeland's volume clarifies the
impulses and critical impetus behind the
cultural, intellectual, and scientific
expressions of postmodern thought. He goes
on to identify the import and issues it
presents for religion and for areas of
Christian theology. Concentrating on God,
Church, and Christ, Lakeland outlines the
church's mission to the postmodern world,
including a constructive theological
apologetics.

"Lakeland's book brings postmodernity into sharp relief. He lifts the fog through short, focused appraisals of key philosophers and theologians. He captures the contents of postmodernity through expert analysis of its salient themes. And he measures its ambiguity because of different cultural interpretations and valuations. Lakeland's work ranks with David Tracy's Plurality and Ambiguity in defining the issues for theology today…Fundamental reading."
