The postmodern theological movement interprets [[Christian theology]] in light of postmodern theory and various forms of post-[[Martin Heidegger|Heideggerian]] thought, using approaches such as [[poststructuralism]], [[Phenomenology (philosophy)|phenomenology]], and [[deconstruction]] to question fixed interpretations, explore the role of [[lived experience]], and uncover hidden textual assumptions and contradictions.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Raschke |first=Carl |title=Postmodern Theology: A Biopic |year=2017}}</ref> The movement emerged in the 1980s and 1990s when a handful of philosophers who took philosopher [[Martin Heidegger]] as a common point of departure began publishing books engaging with Christian theology.{{sfn|Vanhoozer|2003|pp=22–25}}<ref>{{Cite book |last=Crockett |first=Clayton |url=https://archive.org/details/radicalpolitical00croc |title=Radical Political Theology |year=2011 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/radicalpolitical00croc/page/n175 163] |url-access=limited}}</ref>

Theologian [[Kevin J. Vanhoozer]] combines and expands on other scholarly classifications to present seven types of postmodern theology: postliberal, postmetaphysical, deconstructive, reconstructive, [[Feminist theology|feminist]], Anglo-American postmodernity, and [[radical orthodoxy]]. He notes that the typology should be considered "provisional and fallible [yet] not entirely arbitrary", having met two main criteria: each is an approach taken by more than one theologian, and each "believes itself to be responding to, rejecting, or passing through modernity, not inhabiting it."{{sfn|Vanhoozer|2003|p=20}}
