Pre-Modernity, Modernity, Post-Modernity

Dr. Kevin Bauder of Central Seminary is currently writing a series of short articles titled "The Importance of Imagination." Allow me to strongly commend to you the first five articles, in which he compares the pre-modern, modern, and post-modern worldviews. In my opinion, Bauder has a tremendous understanding of this subject. I heard him lecture on worldviews back in '06 at a campus ministry conference, and the 'big picture' he presented has shaped my thinking in the years since. I hope these articles help your understanding as well.
