The Modern, the Postmodern, and... the Metamodern? Reflections on a Transforming Sensibility from the Perspective of Theological Anthropology

Abstract

The article reflects on the new discourse of metamodernism from the perspective of theological anthropology. It brings theorists of metamodernism in conversation with theological discussion to explore how Christians can respond and contribute to this ongoing transformation in the human interpretation of reality.

It will be suggested that this momentum should be viewed by Christians as a 'paradigm shift' that they are to embrace critically, yet affirmatively.
