Truth Decay
Book Description
In an era where the very notion of absolute truth faces unprecedented challenges, spiritual seekers find themselves navigating a complex landscape of competing worldviews. Douglas R. Groothuis addresses this critical tension in a thoughtful exploration of how contemporary philosophical movements have reshaped our understanding of what truth means and how we discover it.
This comprehensive examination reveals how cultural, psychological, and social factors have influenced modern perspectives on truth, moving away from traditional concepts of objective, universal principles toward more subjective interpretations. Groothuis carefully analyzes the philosophical underpinnings of postmodern thought, acknowledging its valuable contributions while identifying areas where it conflicts with Christian understanding.
Rather than dismissing contemporary ideas outright, the author engages in substantive dialogue about how different approaches to truth impact essential areas of human experience. He presents a robust defense of biblical perspectives through logical reasoning and careful analysis, offering readers tools for thoughtful engagement with challenging philosophical questions.
Spanning over 300 pages, this work serves as both an intellectual resource and a practical guide for those seeking to understand how shifting cultural attitudes toward truth affect theology, ethics, apologetics, and artistic expression. Groothuis provides readers with a framework for maintaining confidence in absolute truth while engaging respectfully with alternative viewpoints in our pluralistic world.
