... read this book and could give their views on it?
ISBN 0-281-04938-6

The subtitle is "Biblical Faith in a Postmodern age" and it displays a review comment : "All thinking Christians should read this book"

Why would you want to reconcile christianity with postmodernism? As an Atheist, postmodernism ranks right up their with christianity as nonsense.

Besides, the first positive review at Amazon references Derrida which marks it with the number of the beast in my estimation.

If you want a thinking view of christianity, read some of Bishop Spong's works.
