Truth Decay

Truth Decay: Defending Christianity Against the Challenges of Postmodernism is a spirited philosophical defense of objective truth in an age of relativism. Douglas Groothuis, professor of philosophy at Denver Seminary, examines how the concept of truth as absolute, objective, and universal has undergone serious deterioration in contemporary culture.

Postmodernism sees truth as inseparable from culture, psychology, race, and gender. Groothuis methodically demonstrates why postmodernism’s basic tenets are intellectually flawed and hostile to Christian views. He presents a solid, biblical, and logical perspective on how truth has come under attack and how it can be defended in the vital areas of theology, apologetics, ethics, and the arts.

Winner of a 2001 Christianity Today Award of Merit, the book addresses how Christians can thoughtfully engage with postmodern culture while maintaining their commitment to truth. Groothuis draws on philosophy, theology, and cultural analysis to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and responding to the challenges that relativism poses to faith, reason, and public discourse.
