Saving Truth : Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World by Abdu Murray

Description: Saving Truth : Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World by Abdu Murray (2018, Hardcover)Books & Magazines > BooksProduct InformationIncreasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. Conversely, those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant. This cultural phenomenon led the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary to name post-truth their word of the year in 2016. How can Christians offer truth and clarity to a world that shuns both? By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the Culture of Confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks. Ultimately, Saving Truth provides arguments from a Christian perspective for the foundations of truth and how those foundations apply to sexuality, identity, morality, and spirituality. For those enmeshed in the culture of confusion, the book offers a way to untangle oneself and find hope in the clarity that Christ offers.Product IdentifiersPublisherZondervanISBN-10031056204xISBN-139780310562047eBay Product ID (ePID)9038254147Product Key FeaturesBook TitleSaving Truth : Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth WORLDAuthorAbdu MurrayFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicTheology, Christian Theology / Apologetics, GeneralPublication Year2018GenreReligion, PhilosophyNumber of Pages256 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.7in.Item Height1in.Item Width5.8in.Item Weight13.3 OzAdditional Product FeaturesNumber of Volumes1 Vol.Lc Classification NumberBt50.M87 2018ReviewsA onetime lawyer with a love for language and justice, Abdu Murray shows how "we have mistaken autonomy for freedom" and how this "quest for autonomy has led us down an endless road with no traffic lights or painted lines." Aligning our hopes and desires with the truth can be costly but also freeing---as Abdu's own story reveals and Jesus poignantly declared. I've had the privilege of speaking and answering questions with Abdu in numerous university open forums. I've witnessed his keen mind, winsome humor, and sensitive spirit touch even the most ardent skeptic or follower of another faith, who have then engaged in conversation with him long after an event. This book is genuinely a breath of fresh air and an invaluable and accessible resource.Table of ContentPart 1: Understanding the Culture of Confusion 1.
