About this ebook
Learn how to refuse lies, refute error, and reestablish trust
Post-truth, AI deep fakes, truthiness, propaganda, alternative facts, true for you but not for me--the concept of truth has been taking a beating for decades, but in recent years it feels as though we may have moved beyond the point of no return. Not only are our concepts of truth not aligned with biblical teachings, but they are also patently out of step with objective reality. Where do we go from here?
With a strong desire to help readers discern truth from error, senior apologist Douglas Groothuis explores our culture's deficient view of truth and clearly explains the nature of truth, how to know if something is true, and how to bring truth to bear on some of the most pressing issues of our times.
Pointing us back to a biblical worldview as the foundation of our understanding of truth, this honest examination of common cultural lies will equip you to
● identify and resist ideologies based on personal opinion and false premises
● clearly discuss hot-button topics such as race, gender, abortion and human value, morality, and more
● help your friends, family, and others in your sphere of influence recover truth in a relativistic society
Christians must restore truth when it is being undermined. Pick up this book to learn how to defend a Christian perspective and take back truth.
