Have you ever heard this one: "Well that's what it means to you" or "It's a matter of interpretation so no one can really say what the Bible means"?

in Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture, Graeme Goldsworthy writes, "Postmodernism is a challenge to the gospel because it grows out of the philosophy of the death of God. It is a form of literary atheism that cannot accept that the author's intention is recoverable. The death of the author means of course the death of both the divine and the human authors. This is totally at variance with historic Christian theism" (p. 68).

We live in the "whatever it means to me" world that undermines any sense of objectivity. And if there is no objectivity, the Bible has no authority to tell us what is true or how to live.

But the irony is pungent. If any postmodernist puts these views on paper, he has given me full liberty to to read his book and say, "To me, your book is saying that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and that all need to turn from their sins and trust Him with all their heart."

No one can set forth a view without his view being subject to its own test.
