| | the evangelical outpost: Modernism to Eleven:
Is Postmodernism a Myth? |
| | Modernism is like a rock band where each member wants to drown the others out, but never sets his amp above ten (of twenty) because any more will blow the speakers; the postmodernist is the first one to give the band the finger and push his volume to eleven. | | | To jump on the music analogy bandwagon: Modernism is like a rock band where each member of the band is a maestro on his respective instrument. | | | The guitarist has to remember not to turn the amp up too high, or he'll blow the speakers, so he never goes past ten on a dial up to twenty. |

| | Modernism has two facets, or two modes of definition, both of which are relevant to understanding postmodernism. | | | A "grand narrative" in American culture might be the story that democracy is the most enlightened (rational) form of government, and that democracy can and will lead to universal human happiness. | | | Modernism, as you probably know, is the movement in visual arts, music, literature, and drama which rejected the old Victorian standards of how art should be made, consumed, and what it should mean. |

| | Modernism became a moral crusade to strip away superfluous detail, to serve functional ends and to express materials honestly – concrete was supposed to look like concrete, not pretend to be something else. | | | Later he became much more involved in large scale projects, such as urban plazas, campuses, parkways etc. | | | Modern art is a source of inspiration for a design which includes pieces by Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore. |

| | It can be said, rather, that it happens to convert theoretical possibilities into empirical ones, in doing which it tests many theories about art for their relevance to the actual practice and actual experience of art. | | | Modernism has found that these limits can be pushed back indefinitely -- before a picture stops being a picture and turns into an arbitrary object; but it has also found that the further back these limits are pushed the more explicitly they have to be observed and indicated. | | | Manet's became the first Modernist pictures by virtue of the frankness with which they declared the flat surfaces on which they were painted. |

| | Modernism arose from a backlash against Victorian ideals, which now seemed questionable in the widespread turmoil and suffering of the early 20th century. | | | Modernist poets were concerned with breaking away from established rules, traditions and conventions, and finding a distinctly contemporary mode of expression, through many experiments in form and style. | | | The modern poet had a different world from the Victorian poets to contemplate, and thus employed new forms and styles as fitting this new disillusioned world view. |

| | Many view the Bible as a book written by men who were inspired by God, rather than endorsing an inerrantist view of the Bible as a book written by men who were directly guided by God. | | | Historical contexts and scholarly criticism of the Bible play an important part in how they relate their faith and beliefs to the modern world. | | | It is even problematic to draw a distinction along theological lines, at least in terms of the individual, since many who would accept the label liberal Christian hold to a mix of conservative and liberal theological positions, so there is really a continuum of views. |

| | Vital to the Catholic movement were the adoption of the critical approach to the Bible, which was by that time accepted by most Protestant churches, and the rejection of the intellectualism of scholastic theology, with the corresponding subordination of doctrine to practice. | | | Importance was placed upon the immanent rather than the transcendent nature of God. | | | Modernism arose mainly from the application of modern critical methods to the study of the Bible and the history of dogma and resulted in less emphasis on historic dogma and creeds and in greater stress on the humanistic aspects of religion. |
