Explores what it means to share the Gospel in light of postmodern questions.""Postmodernity"" is a name frequently attached to our cultural milieu. Among its features are a sense of historical consciousness, a recognition of the social construction of knowledge, an appreciation for pluralism, and a suspicion of grand narratives. It is a worldview that is naturally suspicious of traditional models of Christian ""mission."" It is also a worldview that provokes the suspicion of many Catholics, evoking fears of relativism, secularism, and syncretism. John Sivalon, drawing on his own mission training and experience, believes that the Gospel can and must be inculturated in any situation. Rather than fearing postmodernism, he believes this perspective breathes fresh insight, vision, and life into the understanding, articulated by the Second Vatican Council, that mission is centered in the very heart of God. Above all, postmodernism offers ""the gift of uncertainty"" which calls for continually addressing the questions: Why are we doing this? What should we do? How is it best done? Drawing on personal narratives that reflect the new face of mission in the 21st century Fr. Sivalon offers a hopeful vision, showing how the Gospel retains its challenge and relevance in an age of uncertainty and change.
