The "P" Word

The Misunderstood Phrase that needs to die. . .
Postmodernism. I became sick of this term somewhere between taking courses in Literary Theory and Post Colonial Writers during my undergraduate work at TCU.

This term has crept into the world of theology slowly over the past 5 years or so (although this change in thinking has been happening for a good 30 years or so). Some how the church is perpetually playing catch up with secular thinkers and society. But that is for another posting. . .

The folks at Desiring God Ministries, John Piper's gig, are hosting their national workshop titled, "The Supremecy of Christ in a Postmodern World."

The Line Up Includes:
David Wells: "The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World"
D.A. Carson: "The Supremacy of Christ and Love in a Postmodern World"
Timothy Keller: "The Supremacy of Christ and the Gospel in a Postmodern World"
Mark Driscoll: "The Supremacy of Christ and the Church in a Postmodern World"
Voddie Baucham: "The Supremacy of Christ and Truth in a Postmodern World"
John Piper: "The Supremacy of Christ and Joy in a Postmodern World"

I love Piper, especially his passion for God's word and living his life for the glory of God. I'm sure the conference will be top rate, but why didn't they have this conference years ago? What are your thoughts?
