'I'm not interested in the theory - just show me how it works!' The dictionary defines pragmatism as 'a philosophic method that makes practical consequences the test of truth'.
At the end of the 1990s, pragmatism is the prevailing spirit among people. We have had enough of tradition and dogmatism. We are just interested in being practical and getting things fixed. So away with 'ideological baggage' in politics and education and everything. 'Just make life work.'
Being purely practical about life is not a bad platform from which Christians can lead people to consider the claims of the Lord Jesus Christ.
