Post-Truth?: Facts and Faithfulness

by Jeffrey Dudiak, Ronald Kuipers (Foreword), Robert Sweetman (Foreword)

In Post-Truth? Facts and Faithfulness, Jeffrey Dudiak explores the fissures and fractures that vex our so-called “post-truth” era, searching for a deeper, dare we say truer, understanding of the cultural forces that have led North American society to become so polarized. Eschewing the kind of easy responses that trade pluralistic solidarity for tribalistic certainty, Dudiak diagnoses a deeper breakdown in social trust as the underlying issue that has everyone today scurrying for comforting, ideological cover. In this context, Dudiak reminds the reader that truth is more, and runs deeper, than simple correspondence to the facts.

A short book where Dudiak outlines his vision of truth, not facts as truth, but faithfulness as truth. Truth that is grounded in imagination, not fantasy. It was an interesting book, and I have to say, it gives me a lot to think about regarding the way I view truth. I want there to be more guide rails in this work so that truth cannot be anything - though he does say this in the book some background as to why that is the case would be nice. Overall, a great little book that is thought provoking and fun to read.

A concise book that outlines how we limit truth under the confines of the scientific method. I appreciated his opening of the definition and call to universities to allow exploration that requires the closeness of knowing.

The one thing I couldn’t get over was the author’s obsession with letting you know he’s not like the other Christians, he has sex!!!

A great example of clear, accessible and thought provoking scholarship. A compelling exploration of truth from a Christian perspective.
