"Post," or just modern?

"Evangelical postmodernists like Middleton and Walsh tell us that 'the Spirit of God . . . can capture our imaginations and thereby liberate us from the constrictions of the dominant culture.' The problem is that for all its sexy fanfare, postmodernism has never been rebellious enough. Instead of the alleged chasm between it and modernism, postmodernism has always been just another boring extension of the enlightenment project. Locke and Derrida are true bloodbrothers. Modernists and postmodernists have all happily locked themselves in an egocentric predicament of their own construction."

- Douglas Jones, "Postmodern Conformity," Credenda/Agenda, vol. 9, no. 3
