The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge (Theory and History of Literature, Volume 10) (1984)
Many definitions of postmodernism focus on its nature as the aftermath of the modern industrial age when technology developed. This book extends that analysis to postmodernism by looking at the status of science, technology, and the arts, the significance of technocracy, and the way the flow of information is controlled in the Western world.

Bible and Mission: Christian Witness in a Postmodern World (2004)
This engaging study provides a new way of looking at Scripture–one that takes seriously the biblical idea of mission.

Now, two decades later, Paul Hoover returns to suggest what postmodernism means in the twenty-first century.

While growing churches dot our urban centers and country landscapes, church-goers and students today are actually less likely to maintain a Christian worldview than in the past.
