Post-modern Christians

I'm looking forward to Kyle Kupp's series on the interaction (intersection?) of his postmodernism and his Catholicism, the introductory post of which is here. For years, I've been fascinated by the postmodern Mormonism of Clark at Mormon Metaphysics. I suppose in some ways the marriage of postmodernism and Christianity seems perfectly natural: hermeneutics is, after all, a science that arose within Christianity, and it is within any religion based on scripture that the problem of interpretation becomes the most acute. That said, it seems like a postmodern Christian will have to walk on a bit of a tightrope to avoid tearing apart the entire foundation upon which he or she stands. So Kyle's series should be fun to watch.
