Developing a New Christology for a Postmodern Culture - Knowing Christ Today

From a semiotic description of secular, postmodern culture, the author distills its primary social values; and using a narrative approach to the Gospel's description of the person and work of Jesus Christ, constructs a Eucharistic Prayer that is accessible to inquirers, and equips church members with the vocabulary needed to share their faith.
