Is Religion a Metanarrative?: Towards Religious Critique and Appropriation of Postmodernism

Postmodernism is against all "isms" and ideologies and cults - all grand narratives. Metanarratives of traditional theologies have become incredible. Despite this it could be argued that religion approached from a mystical perspective resists postmodern critique and is not to be dubbed as a metanarrative at all. The present paper unearths "postmodern" face of religion and argues against fashionable postmodernist characterization and critique of religion as a metanarrative.
