The concept of truth as absolute, objective and universal has undergone
serious deterioration in recent years. No longer is it a goal for all to
pursue. Rather postmodernism sees truth as inseparable from culture,
psychology, race and gender. Ultimately, truth is what we make it to
be.
What factors have accelerated this decay of truth? Why are people
willing to embrace such a devalued concept? How does this new view of
truth compare and contrast with a Christian understanding?
While postmodernism contains some truthful insights (despite its attempt
to dethrone truth), Douglas Groothuis sees its basic tenets as
intellectually flawed and hostile to Christian views of truth. In this
spirited presentation of a solid, biblical and logical view of truth,
the author unveils how truth has come under attack and how it can be
defended in the vital areas of theology, apologetics, ethics and the
arts.
An important book for all concerned about the nature and value of truth.
