Discernment and Truth
Book Description
In the journey of faith, few skills prove more essential than the ability to discern truth from illusion, wisdom from mere knowledge, and authentic spiritual guidance from empty promises. Mark A. McIntosh offers readers a profound exploration of this vital capacity through a series of thoughtful meditations that illuminate the art of Christian discernment.
Drawing from centuries of Christian wisdom, McIntosh examines how influential thinkers, writers, and theologians have wrestled with the complex questions that arise when seeking divine guidance in daily life. Rather than offering simple formulas or quick answers, this scholarly yet accessible work invites readers into deeper contemplation of the mysteries that shape authentic spiritual living.
The author weaves together several crucial themes that define genuine Christian discernment: the communal nature of faith that transcends individual experience, the important relationship between spiritual practice and theological understanding, and the foundational role of the Trinity in guiding believers toward truth. Through rigorous scholarship balanced with pastoral sensitivity, McIntosh demonstrates how discernment operates not as a technique to be mastered, but as a grace to be received and cultivated.
This 290-page volume serves both individual seekers and study groups, complete with discussion questions that encourage deeper reflection. For those yearning to develop greater spiritual wisdom and clarity in their faith journey, McIntosh provides a trustworthy guide into the heart of Christian discernment.
