{"product_id":"true-truth-9780830832354","title":"True Truth","description":"\u003cp\u003eConventional wisdom holds that any belief in \u003ci\u003eabsolutes, \u003c\/i\u003e especially of a religious nature, leads inevitably to the oppressive \u003ci\u003eabsolutism\u003c\/i\u003e of such movements as the Inquisition, the Crusades and even Nazism. As a result, Christian apologists have been hard-pressed to make a case for the rational absolutes that are a necessary part of belief in Jesus.Art Lindsley takes up the task in \u003ci\u003eTrue Truth.\u003c\/i\u003e While maintaining the indispensability of absolutes, he ably demonstrates that faith in Christ is necessarily opposed to and incompatible with the abuses of oppression, arrogance, intolerance, self-righteousness, closed-mindedness and defensiveness. Surprisingly, Lindsley shows that it is relativism which often harbors dangerous, inflexible absolutisms.Here is a book that actively challenges the dismissal of truth, preparing the way for more effectively proclaiming the gospel and living Christianly in a postmodern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt Lindsley is vice president of Theological Initiatives for the Institute for Faith, Work and Economics in McLean, Virginia.
