I found this one in a google. It was listed in a lecture series being given by someone on "PoMo" Stanley Grenz seems to be a recognized Professor on this subject.

Here is another clear definition from Stanley Grenz in "A Primer on Postmodernism:"

>>[Postmodernism] affirms that whatever we accept as truth and even the way we envision truth are dependent on the community in which we participate . . . There is no absolute truth: rather truth is relative to the community in which we participate. <<<
( Grenz, S. J., A Primer on Postmodernism (Grand Rapids: Cambridge University Press, 1995), p. 8.)

Steve here is an earlier post that from a google I did that does the definitions even better, IMO. It is difficult to get Academics in Philosophy or the Social Science to rigorously define their terms. They don't want to be constrained in the same way as the Physical Sciences are. They love to run around, like the "Wizard of Oz," putting out a smokescreen of verbage that sounds good, while behind the scenes, all they are really doing is BS'ing you.
