| Summary: | Mission theologians once held that Scripture had a unified, objective meaning that could be directly conveyed on the mission field. That view has given way to a recognition of diverse scriptural voices and the claim that this biblical diversity might be a clue toward a theological embrace of the world's diversity. This article examines that process, and then finds a similarity between this theological development and the secular movement called “postmodernism,” with its concern for situatedness and textual interpretation. Postmodernist ideas suggest a new basis for the authority of Scripture but would profit from the experience on the mission field. |
