Query: Proposes a thesis without logical foundation

After reading this book for a philosophy class, I am strongly of the opinion that Downing has little skill as a writer or logician. Yes, she does establish postmodernism and its roots nicely, but she fails to establish the very thesis of her book--that postmodernism serves faith. While I will admit my bias to disagree with her, she did not successfully make her arguments. I found myself repeatedly wondering how she could fail to see the circular reasoning and illogical leaps. Maybe if she had actually been able to argue her point, I might have thought more highly of this book.
