Webber spends considerable time about postmodernism. Christians in a postmodern world will succeed, not by watering down the faith, but by being a countercultural community that invites people to be shaped by the story of Israel and Jesus. Classical Christianity was not an accommodation to paganism but an alternative practice of life. Classical Christianity was shaped in a pagan and relativistic society much like our own. The fundamental concern of this book is to find points of contact between classical Christianity and postmodern thought. Webber uses the theme of looking to the past to help reach the future, what he calls the ancient-future approach to share the Gospel in a postmodern world. As Webber states (8): In this book, Webber contends that for evangelicalism to continue in a postmodern world, the church must return to the style, methods, and approaches from the first century. Robert Webber, the author of the Ancient-Future book series, has written a book that helps Christians who want to learn different techniques for evangelism in the postmodern world. The subtitle – Rethinking Evangelicalism for a Postmodern World summarizes the book. Ancient-Future Faith by Robert Webber, is really a book about postmodernism.
