Is God a public figure? Does Christianity have a legitimate role to play in the public realm of politics, business, law, and education? Or are secularists right when they relegate religion to the strictly private realm of faith and feelings? In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the split between public and private, fact and feelings. She reveals the strategies of secularist gatekeepers who use this division to banish biblical principles from the cultural mainstream, stripping Christianity of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. How can this divide be overcome? How to unify fragmented lives and recover authentic spirituality? With compelling examples from the struggles of real people, Pearcey shows how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks listeners through practical, hands-on steps for developing a full-orbed Christian worldview. Finally, she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth.… (mais)

Uma análise cultural cristã que traz ao leitor informações indispensáveis para produzir uma compreensão cristã do mundo em que vivemos. Verdade Absoluta apresenta o cristianismo não apenas como princípio religioso, mas expõe como a ciência moderna o exalta, a Verdade Absoluta acima de todas as ideologias.

A mind like a jewel...."Total Truth" is brilliant.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, Arrington - Author

The most serious undertaking on Christian worldview to date - from one of the finest writers in America.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, Mike Adams - Author "Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel"

With marvelous clarity of thought and prose, Pearcey explains how modern science reinforces Christianity - and why more Christians should be aware of it.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, Michael Behe - author "Darwin's Black Box"

Pearcey is firing on all pistons. I love her stubborn and intelligent insistence on the gospel's truth and relevance to all of life.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, Kelly Monroe Kullberg - coauthor and editor "Finding God at Harvard"

"Total Truth" exhibits the depth of research and breadth of coverage we have come to expect from Nancy Pearcey.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, J. P. Moreland - Professor of Philosophy Talbot School of Theology

One of the most profound writers today. Pearcey makes complex issues clear as no one else has.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, Ted Baeher - Founder "Movieguide"

A unique combination of apologetics, worldview analysis, social commentary, and instruction manual. Pearcey's knowledge, insight, and faith place her among the top handful of relevant Christian thinkers of our time.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, David Limbaugh - columnist - author "Persecution"

Pearcey takes us into truer and worthier witness in our increasingly secularized world. All will profit mightily from what is written here.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarBack cover, J. I. Packer - Professor of Theology Regent College

"Total Truth" is amazing, both in the depth of its worldview analysis and in its superbly crafted writing style. The best work of cultural analysis from a Christian standpoint available today.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarback of book, James Sire - author "The Universe Next Door"

With the passion of an advocate and the skill of a surgeon, Nancy Pearcey sets forth the elements of a Christian worldview and then makes a persuasive case for Christian involvement in society.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Kerby ANderson - National DIrector Probe Ministris - Cohost "Point of View"

I like the way Nancy Pearcey tells personal stories that help to incarnate the issues and make them come alive. I appreciate her clear, concrete, lively writing style. This message should get a wide hearing.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Michael Goheen - Professor of Worldview Studies Redeemer University College

A fascinating study! The perspective is fresh, helpful, moving, and challenging. "Total Truth" is simple yet profound, passion-filled without being "preachy," broad in scope and centered on fundamental issues.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, John Vander Stelt - Professor Emeritus of Philosophy Dordt College

The important point Nancy Pearcey makes in her excellent and well-documented book is that Christians must not check their worldviews on the way out the church door. Christians need to do more than slap a veneer of Christianity over their work, hobbies, and studies. They need to fully integrate their faith with all of life.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Curt Lovelace - Executive Director Lifework Forum

"Total Truth" is well written, clear, and insightful. The prose is extremely easy to read, even though Pearcey is often dealing with heady philosophical subjects....a great book.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Jay Richards - VP the Discovery Institute

Nancy Pearcey takes the analysis of worldviews to another level, in the mos insightful applications since Francis Schaeffer.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Gene Edward Veith - Culture Editor "World" magazine

In an easy-to-read, well-documented, sometimes provocative text, Nancy Pearcey has provided a superb worldview lens through which we can see things more clearly. All who read it will live their lives differently.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Becky Norton Dunlop - VP for External Relations the Heritage Foundation

It doesn't matter how many Christians gain positions of influence in the cultural gatekeeping institutions if we don't permit our worldview to shape what we do. "Total Truth" recovers the biblical admonition to live all of life to God's glory.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, William Wicheterman - congressional aide

Nancy Pearcey is a gifted writer and thinker. She offers clarity and insight in the midst of a cacophony of cultural trends and competing political and philosophical points of view.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Francis J. Beckwith - Associate Director J. M. Dawson INstitute of Church-State Studies and Associate Professor of Church-State Studeis Baylor University

Nancy Pearcey has written a book that spans intersections of secular thought and Christian orientation over a wide cultural horizon. While Francis Schaeffer gave a whole generation a credible framework in Christianity for the flow of ideas and their consequences, Pearcey goes more into the text and demonstrates how correct Schaeffer was in his analysis.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Udo Middelmann - Director Francis A. Schaeffer Foundation

Anybody who has read Nancy Pearcey knows to expect a careful review of the literature, a keen discussion of the issues, and a creative analysis of the way ahead - all expressed in a clear and lively way. "Total Truth" does not disappoint: it addresses the most important issue facing the Christian church today.

adicionado por ArrowStead | editarInside of book, Paul Marshall - Senior Fellow at Freedom House's Center for Religious Freedom - Author "Heaven Is Not My Home"

"Total Truth" is marked by Nancy Pearcy's signature clarity, readability, and intellectual depth. It presents a passionate case for an integral and culturally relevant biblical worldview. It is rare to find a book of such religious and intellectual integrity which is at the same time so accessible and enjoyable.

Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather truth spelled with a capital "T." Truth about total reality, not just about religious things. Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality - and the intellectual holding of that total Truth and then living in the light of that Truth. - Francis Schaeffer - Address at the University of Notre Dame, April 1981

Sundays were Sundays,
with the rest of the week largely detached,
operating by a different set of rules.
Can these two worlds that seem so separate ever merge?
~John Beckett

[Foreword] When Nancy Pearcey invited me to write a foreword for her "worldview" book, I hastened to accept the honor.

[Introduction] Your earlier book says Christians are called to redeem entire cultures, not just individuals," a schoolteacher commented, joining me for lunch at a conference where I had just spoken.
