Postmodern Justice?
The deconstructive power of postmodernism’s attempt at leveling the statutes and stigma of a given culture has given rise to a social fragmentation that enslaves freedom through a purely nihilistic ideological superstructure. An eclipse of justice is prevalent in the multiplicity of Cartesian trends which litter the spectral landscape end to end.This quasi techno-interpretation of justice has aimed its charges directly at the Church, issued it's declaration, and has demanded she be interrogated for the reason of her hope in the old paths. Christianity finds itself on a collision course with the dominance of a chameleonic virtual emerging reality which abhors any absolute. This nucleus of opacity (postmodern freedom) dispenses its own brand of justice within a utilitarian network of transparent significations – suspicion, uncertainty, and conflict. While suffering opposition is nothing new to the Christian, Christology has never before in the history of mankind been subjected to the kind of ruthless analysis any hollow chested street corner skeptic proffers. It would behoove us to remember these words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
