The Truth War: Fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception

by John F. MacArthur

Publisher:

Thomas Nelson

, 2007

Overview

Right now, Truth is under attack, and much is at stake. Christians are caught in the crossfire of alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty texts, and a cultural push to eliminate absolute Truth altogether. As a result, many churches and Christians have been deceived. Worse still, they propagate the deception that poses itself as Truth! In The Truth War John MacArthur reclaims the unwavering certainty of God’s Truth and anchors Christians in the eternal, immovable promises that are found in His Word.

“Modernity, in simple terms, was characterized by the belief that truth exists and that the scientific method is the only reliable way to determine that truth.” (Page 9)

“It seems there is no shortage of people nowadays willing to kill for a lie. Yet few seem to be willing to speak up for truth—much less die for it.” (Page xii)

“A proposition is an idea framed as a logical statement that affirms or denies something, and it is expressed in such a way that it must be either true or false.” (Page 14)

“In fact, the one most valuable lesson humanity ought to have learned from philosophy is that it is impossible to make sense of truth without acknowledging God as the necessary starting point.” (Page 7)

“Postmodernists are generally suspicious of rational and logical forms. They especially do not like to discuss truth in plain propositional terms.” (Page 13)
