Postmodernism often favors the mirror images of these five. There is a third approach in many Anglo-American writers which involves neither alternatives. This article analyzes four contemporary theologians, two of whom, Mark C Taylor and George Lindbeck, are rooted in the newer tradition and two, Phil Hefner and Delwin Brown, in the Anglo-American. This essay may be considered a plea to avoid the traditional postmodern dichotomy.16 pagesPDFenFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaGeorge Arthur Lindbeck (1923-2018)Mark TaylorPhilip HefnerDelwin BrownPostmodernism -- Religious aspectsArticle
