LifeandLeadership.com Summary
This is in a class alongside the tetralogy by David F. Wells that culminated in Above All Earthly Powers. They focus less on the promise and more on the peril of postmodernism, but with a healthy balance that is likely to be well-received even by those who disagree. It is a refined version of the presentations made at the 2006 Desiring God National Conference. The editors, John Piper and Justin Taylor, as well as the other authors in this collaboration – David Wells, D. A. Carson, Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, and Voddie Baucham – are gifted scholars and practitioners who deserve a fair hearing from all those who want to healthfully contextualize the gospel in their time. The best way to read this text is to look at Justin Taylor’s introductory overview of each chapter and choose the most helpful ones.
From the Publisher
Six of today’s leading pastor-theologians—John Piper, Voddie Baucham, D. A. Carson, Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, and David Wells—have joined together to offer Christians a practical, biblical vision of Christ’s supremacy, so they will be better prepared to present the undeniable truth to a searching society. After grounding readers in the important truths of Christ’s deity and the gospel, The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World strives to help believers understand how to share these truths in a postmodern society. As readers begin to apply the lessons from this book, they will gain a practical, biblical vision of ministry for the twenty-first century.
