Introduction and historical context -- Historical context : from modernism to postmodernism -- Deconstruction and its roots in Europe -- Jean-François Lyotard : the dissolution of the metanarrative -- The deconstructionism of Jacques Derrida -- Michel Foucault : the end of man? -- Deconstruction in America -- Mark C. Taylor : embracing nihilism -- Richard Rorty : pragmatic postmodernism -- Deconstruction in Britain -- Don Cupitt : theological necrophilia -- Apologetic methodology in view of deconstructionist concerns -- Preliminary methodological considerations -- Christian appeals to deconstructionist concerns : lessons from the book of Acts -- Apologetic engagement and dialogue -- Apologetic imagination -- Apologetic groundwork : are any "foundations" possible?
Summary: Engaging Deconstructive Theology presents an evangelical approach for theological conversation with postmodern thinkers. Themes are considered from Derrida, Foucault, Mark C. Taylor, Rorty, and Cupitt, developing dialogue from an open-minded evangelical perspective. Ron Michener draws upon insights from radical postmodern thought and seeks to advance an apologetic approach to the Christian faith that acknowledges a mosaic of human sources including experience, literature, and the imagination.
