In Pamela's essay on postmodern theology she discusses how the view of postmodernism is causing issues in understanding religions, particularly Christianity. She tries to explain that using a post modernistic view, one is not really able to understand the different aspects that also belong to the religion this includes things like belief, practice, and rituals.
