In Preaching to a Postmodern World, Graham Johnston argues that the audience we are preaching to has undergone a major shift in worldview from modernity to Postmodernity. This worldview is suspicious of authority, pluralistic, individualistic, media-saturated, it rejects objective truth, and is much looser in its morals. If preachers are going to reach these people with the truth of God, they need to better understand their audience so they can communicate the message clearly. The apostle Paul applies the same principle in 1 Corinthians 9. 22: 'I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some'.
