A postmodern canon
March 17th, 2006 | can·on (noun): a sanctioned or accepted group or body of related works. [the canon of great literature]
Precipice Magazine, an “online Christian resource for dialogue, interaction and opinion about… the postmodern era; as well as the subsequent rise of the emergent church,” is publishing a list of books to include in a ‘postmodern canon’ (one page says it will be 50 books, another says 40). They just published Part 4 of the series, which contains books 16-20.
I’ve read at least one book in each of the four sections so far. Those books are Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, A Generous Orthodoxy by Brian McLaren, The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller, and God’s Politics by Jim Wallis.
I really want to read a few of the books on that list, like Stanley Grenz’s A Primer on Postmodernism (I added it to my wishlist a few days ago), but I’ve got a lot more reading to do first.
