Postmodernism has dissolved the older arguments against Christianity — and replaced them with a worldview that treats truth itself as suspect. Christian Worldview vs. Postmodernism takes the two systems and weighs them against each other on the only terms that matter: rational examination and honest comparison.
Dave Armstrong covers the load-bearing questions across this divide. The problem of evil. The mirror problem — the “problem of good” and the puzzle of meaningfulness in an atheist universe. Miracles. The relationship of Christianity to science and to scientific method. The unproven axioms and premises atheists smuggle in unchallenged. And the classical cosmological and teleological arguments for God’s existence, restated for readers shaped by postmodern doubt.
Written for general Christian reading — nothing distinctively Catholic — and aimed at the educated skeptic who finds the old debates stale. The premise is straightforward: postmodernism is not the end of argument but a new set of arguments worth answering on their own terms. For believers who want to think their way through, and for honest skeptics willing to put both worldviews on the same table.
