Postmodernity and Theology Review by AnnaOne question that has not ordinarily been asked in theology is the degree to which it is, or should be, postmodern. A similar question has been asked in a somewhat different form, however. This is due to an unusual development. It has been customary to use adjective modern as virtually a synonym for contemporary. Thus, modern meant that which is most recent. While what was modern might change, modernity still remained that which was most current. In a sense, modernity could not pass; it could only change its content.
