Mark Mattes is Awesome

"Moderns are significantly more conflicted with respect to law and its final evaluation, since they find themselves with with no summum bonum as the ultimate evaluator. They are thus positioned between an antinomianism which results from the belief that there is no objective final purpose to life, and a nomianism in which one is condemned to fulfill one's potential as the only way to extract meaning from life. This insight implies that the preaching of the gospel is no less "relevent" for moderns than pre-moderns."
