Examining the central content of both the Christian tradition and postmodern thought, Jan-Olav Henriksen explores how each deals with, interprets, and offers resources for living in today's world. Henriksen uses Jacques Derrida's categories of 'desire,' 'gift,' and 'recognition' to interpret the Jesus story in terms of postmodern philosophy. He gives a clearly reasoned guide to why Christ and his message still have something to say to contemporary believers; and how theology must connect to everyday human experience.
