Product Description

Product Description
Whatever Happened to Truth? America is in the midst of a revolution in thinking that impacts every conceivable aspect of life. Postmodernism, the guiding spirit of our times, teaches that things like reason and rationality are cultural biases, and that truth--especially God's truth--doesn't exist. A society that forsakes truth believes that All lifestyles, religions, and worldviews are equally valid The only real sin is criticizing someone else's views or moral choices Opinions matter as much as evidence Reality is in the mind of the beholder. Not since Charles Darwin confronted Christians with his doctrine of naturalistic evolution has the church faced a challenge for which it is so ill-prepared. We are witnessing The Death of Truth.

About the Author
During Dennis McCallum's first year in college he began taking his friends to home Bible studies he and friends had formed. As the group developed they also began a publishing enterprise. When their group grew to include several high school and adult home groups in the central Ohio area, Dennis realized his need to get more training He completed his seminary training at Ashland Theological Seminary and returned to continue developing the group in Columbus, Ohio. Dennis and his colleagues formed a new ministry group in 1994 called "The Crossroads Project," to teach apologetics to the church at large. Their book, The Death of Truth (Bethany House) addresses the subject of postmodernism, which they call the guiding spirit of our times. They show that American society has forsaken truth, that reason and rationality are viewed as cultural biases, and that truth, especially God's truth doesn't exist. Dennis McCallum, with others from Xenos also presents a Postmodern Challenge Conference at universities throughout the country. Dennis, his wife and children are all involved in activities and ministries in Xenos. They make their home in Ohio.

4.0 out of 5 stars an important evaluation of postmodernism, 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I have read this book with pleasure: It is not too difficult, it is written by many writers with their own style. I think the writers have written this book especially for Christians, for example students, parents with children, sick people who wants to know more about health care, and so on. The strength of this book is that it shows the important impact of postmodernism on many topics in our society, I have learned much. Its weakness is the less philosophical content, in this book it is for me not clear for which reasons christianity is the third way besides modernism and postmodernism. Is it the only alternative? Because this is not very clear and there is no good (philosophical) foundation, sometimes the arguments are somewhat fideistic, although the writers are against fideism. If you want to know more about the philosophical foundations, then you have to read other books. I highly recommend this book, especially for Christians. It can open your eyes for many developments in society and churches. Also non-christians who are interested in postmodernism, modernism or perhaps christianity will have pleasure by reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please read and understand our culture!, 24 Mar 1999
By A Customer
First of all, I appreciate it so much when authors will write books on very difficult, abstract subjects in such an easy to understand way. Don't let the title or subject material scare you...you'll probably be able to get through it with no problem. They explain the common views (modernism, post modernism, and christian) on some of the most important areas in life (religion, law, health care, education, etc). There's also tons of references for further reading. I was very unfamiliar with these subjects, and feel that I now understand the basics of how they developed, the present impact and the future impact of these ideologies.
