Age of Authenticity

Being “authentic” is a common theme in modern Western culture that is a very complex term yet
used simplistically as common parlance. Discuss what it means to live in the “Age of
Authenticity”. How does this view hyper-emphasize the individual? What has happened to
spirituality as this Age has emerged? Consider the ways in which some of the aspects of modern
culture are a positive thing and can be used by Christian apologists in a productive manner.
