Expert: Elder Greg Madden - 10/20/2006


Question
Can you please help me and elaborate on these assignment questions?
1. What is the differences between modernism and postmodernism?
2. How has (modernism) impacted upon the development of religion?
3. What has been the affect of postmodernism on the development of religion?
I am struggling with understanding the modernism and postmodernism differences, other than modernism being more traditional and postmodernism being created by generation X. I am really not understanding questions 2 and 3.  Please provide me with some guidance to better understand the professors' questions.  Thanks "  

Answer
Eric,

Thanks for your questions. But I will not be able to answer the questions for you. The reason you are attended school is to learn. And I would be do you a dis-service if I were to directly answer these for you. However, I have a son in college, I know know that it can be difficult at times. Therefore instead of direct answers, I will direct you to a few web sites that I hope will help you. But in doing so, I council you NOT to plagiarize them, but glean your answers from them. They are...

Eric, I hope you understand my position in not answering you directly. And I want to that you for being honest in your questions. Others have tried to be cryptic in their questions. You however were not. This is the character of a true academic. I will be praying for you and your studies.

Please let me know if this helps,

Experience

I gave my heart to the Lord a few months after being married during a revival meeting. A few weeks later I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I have not been the same since! In those twenty five years we have only attended one church (Harvest Church), and there I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. We minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new member’s class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president. In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.

Organizations
I am ordained through Harvest Church, and with the World Harvest Ministerial Fellowship. I also am a licensed minister with the State of Oklahoma,
