The Death of Truth

If you only read one book because of 'Facing the Challenge', make this the one.

Highly recommended! This excellent CDROM contains five MS PowerPoint® presentations, with audio tracks, of lectures from the Death of Truth conference:

Contents
The Shifting Sands of Contemporary Culture	Jim Leffel
Truth as Power	Jim Leffel
Evangelism in a Postmodern Culture	Gary DeLashmutt
Postmodern Religion	Dennis McCallum
The Church at the Crossroads	Dennis McCallum

From the CDROM case:

'America is in the midst of a revolution in thinking that impacts every area 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. In this 5-lecture CD ROM presentation, you will learn how Christians can serve and love effectively in a culture that is witnessing the Death of Truth'

The Death of Truth - the book 'What's wrong with Multiculturalism, the rejection of Reason and the new Postmodern Diversity?' Dennis McCallum (Ed), Bethany House 2nd Edition now out.

From the dust jacket:

'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

This book charts the change from modernism to postmodernism, and then has detail sections on how the death of truth affects areas like health care, literature, education, history, psychotherapy, law, science and religion. It ends with five 'case studies' and a look at evangelical imperatives in coming to grips with the death of truth. If you only read one book because of 'Facing the Challenge', make this the one.
Dennis McCallum is Senior Pastor at Xenos Christian Fellowship in Columbus, Ohio.
