Milton Jones with Michael Hall. Christ — No More, No Less: How to be a Christian in a Postmodern World. Orange, Calif.: New Leaf, 2000. 150 pages; $13.95; ISBN 0-9700836-29; (877) 634-6004.

Jones and Hall give readers 15 chapters which discuss faith in the context and vocabulary of the popular culture which often overwhelms or perplexes people of faith. How do we 'talk faith' with postmoderns? How can we reason with a generation which speaks from unique assumptions and in its own jargon? Jones discusses such questions in chapters which include, 'The Truth is More Than Out There' and 'Tell me the Old, Old Meta-narrative.' Each chapter ends with discussion questions for small groups.

Jones writes, 'Why are angels so popular today? Because we are living in a postmodern era. Indeed, we are coming to realize that science and technology cannot solve all our problems. The guarded good news of post-modernism is that postmoderns have a tremendous desire for spirituality.'
