Post-Whatever


I am sharing a great quote I shamelessly ripped off from Jollyblogger, who shamelessly ripped off from Doug Wilson, who shamelessly ripped off from David Wells:

"It is, in fact, this assumption of an ability to move from one plateau of achievement to another that has given us a need always to be post: we feel compelled to assure ourselves that we are post-Puritan, post-Christian, and post-modern. Our world is post-industrial and post-business. Our time is post-Vietnam, post-Watergate, and post-Cold War."

[David Wells, No Place for Truth (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1993), p. 60.]
