theology in a postmodern context

What is the role of theology in a postmodern world? In a context in which knowledge, and therefore "truth," is said to be largely (if not entirely?) shaped by historical, social, economic and geographical location of the subject (the knower), what merit and promise can theology claim for itself? This Wednesday at 4:00, I will be responding to a paper by Jim Beilby on this topic for our first "theology colloquium." I look forward to an invigorating, provocative and stimulating conversation on this important topic. If you're in the area, come check it out.
