Addressing the Tolerance of Post-Modernism
2.0K1:11:13Post Modernism1CO 2:9The video discusses the impact of post-modernism on evangelical young people and churches. It highlights two books, "The Post-Evangelical" by Dave Tomlinson and "A New Kind of Christian" by Brian McLaren, which argue against essential biblical principles. The speaker identifies four principles that are essential to biblical Christianity: objectivity, clarity, authority, and certainty. Post-modernism is shown to be hostile towards these principles, as it promotes subjective beliefs and rejects the idea of absolute truth.

The transcript concludes by mentioning a speech given by Dr. Kevin Bouter, a fundamentalist who offers a thoughtful analysis of what is wrong with fundamentalism and desires to see it return to its true path.
