“Come and See”: Orthodox Theology’s Appeal to Postmodernism

Orthodoxy is the personal self-disclosure of Divine Beauty. The challenge for the Orthodox Church today is to appeal to postmodern thinkers. The author proposes to focus on the Beauty revealed in the glory of Orthodoxy. On the one hand, both Orthodox theology and postmodernism often stand their ground differently. On the other hand, presenting few premises of interest for both postmodernism and theology is an essential endeavor for initiating an appeal to postmodernism. The premises proposed by this research deals with truth, metanarratives, hermeneutics, Apophaticism, mystery and spirituality. The point of this dialogue is not to be defensive or apologetic, but to stir the latent richness of Christian theology as an ontology of love and invite others to “taste and see” the beauty of the Orthodox faith.
