Truth and the Church in a Secular Age cover

Perhaps more than ever before, the concept of ‘truth’ is hard to pin down. Exploring the place of Christianity, the Church and their claims to uphold the truth in an age of `post-truth’, Truth and the Church in a Secular Age takes an approach both historical in its depth and contemporary in its concerns. 
Beginning with a consideration of truth within the biblical tradition, contributors also approach the topic from historical, theological and philosophical starting points, setting out the groundwork for discussions of Christian truth and science, prayer, ethics and the liturgy.

“As a Christian I am confronted by those who ask me to tell them the truth about faith, while they are being bombarded by theory wrapped up as truth, I find it, at times, frustrating and difficult. I am therefore very thankful for this book which I hope will enable more of us to be able to discern the truth revealed in our faith.” -- Most Revd. Mark Strange, Bishop of Moray, Ross and Caithness and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church
