Mainline churches are in trouble-less funding, lower attendance, less influence in the larger culture. Why? In this project, particular attention is paid to the manner in which post-Enlightenment modernity has undercut the vitality of the mainline church especially with reference to the authority of scripture. Modernity, with its emphasis on the rational, has forced scripture to be read through a naturalistic framework depriving the story of any supernatural elements. While postmodernism's challenge to absolute rationality offers the possibility of many ways or modes of knowing, such a challenge creates greater space for the possibility of revelation through the reading of the scriptural story.
