NT on Postmodernity

Collapsing reality; deconstructing selfhood; the death of the metanarrative. These are the keys to understanding postmodernity. It is a ruthless application of the hermeneutic of suspicion to everything that the post-Enlightenment Western world has held dear. It goes exactly with the microchip revolution, which has generated and sustained a world in which creating new apparent realities, living in one's own private world and telling one's own story even though it does not cohere with anybody else's, is easier and easier. This is what the Internet is partly all about. We live in a cultural, economic, moral and even religious hypermarket. Scoop up what you like and mix it all together.
~ Bishop Tom Wright, The Challenge of Jesus
