Summary: he doesn't understand Post-modernism
Review: Those who understand the issues raised by post-modernism will be left scratching their heads over this one. He seems to think this term refers to any non-traditional intellectual trend of the last century.

Summary: Engaging Minds for Christ in Postmodernistic Times
Review: Veith here updates his 1987 offering under the same title. Realizing that the picture had shifted somewhat, but not entirely, thus this update.It is engaging, stimulating and exhiliarting to hear how a Christian mind can hold up to the propoganda and temptations of the culture, especially in academia these days. Veith has experience which is pertinent, but more than that, he has read and thought much about the topic. The fruit herewith for us to digest is nourishing and confrontational. He honorably does not just protest without provision of action. And all of this in a wonderful prose and style which is truly a joy to read. This is a clarion call for the church not to withdraw from engagement with a culture gone awry, but to bring with us minds for Christ into all disciplines. Because God is of creation and humanity, He provides the Christian with learning and contributions to cultural and academic pursuits. Veith argues persuasively using Daniel at the University of Babylon as the Biblical standard for doing just that. For students/learners of all ages! This wonderful resource for the church should be utilized widely as to how the love of God in Christ Jesus for each Christian should be carried out to to the world we live in. Truly, how to be in the world but not of.
