Pluralism and the Chuch
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
How can a society hold together when it makes little effort to reconcile competing and even contradictory positions? This is the question Bibby addresses in this follow-up to his first excellent expose on the religion scene in Canada (with great implications for America.}As he so correctly asserts: To attempt to assert truth in this envioronment is met with hostility, since its breaks the viewpoint rule, each one having just one important piece of the big mosaic. Madness! Certainly I felt that while ministering in Canada and do as well in the U.S., where now the pluarlistic view is gaining ground as the legitimate way to address the issue: redefine toleration to mean allowing everyone to assert they have the truth only for themselves, no one has it for everyone.Postmodernism reigns! This is well-written critique with amazing, relevant statements such as: "We have the audacity to applaud ourselves for being open-minded, when the reality is that our relativism has frequently made our minds airtight."
