Synopsis

The monograph by Rev. Tadeusz Borutka examines the impact of postmodernism on religiosity and social life, integrating theological and sociological perspectives. The first chapter outlines the historical development of postmodernism, its ideological foundations, and its consequences for social and religious life. Subsequent chapters focus on the „dogmas” of postmodernism, such as moral and religious relativism, consumerism, and hedonism, and their impact on the crisis of faith and religiosity. Particular attention is given to the threats posed by neo-paganism, the individualization of faith, and subjective spirituality. The work concludes with an analysis of a new evangelization model that includes the dialogue of salvation, inculturation, and the testimony of faith. The monograph emphasizes the importance of Church and pastoral renewal in addressing  contemporary challenges.
