SEARCHING FOR ABSOLUTES IN A POSTMODERN WORLD. In this postmodern age, truth--especially religious or moral truth--is widely criticized and constantly challenged, yet perhaps more important than ever.It was this realization that led James Emery White to examine the concepts of truth as held by five twentieth -century theologians:- Cornelius Van Til - Millard J. Erickson- Francis A. Schaeffer - Donald G. Bloesch- Carl F. H. HenryWhite's study exhibits a comprehensive knowledge of these writers and their background. Its originality lies in the way that the five thinkers are brought together and subjected to minute inspection. As a secondary theme, White shows how their approaches to the question of truth relate to the question of the inspiration and authority of Scripture . . . I am delighted that this important study is now made available to a wider public. --from the Foreword by Colin Brown,Fuller Theological SeminaryJAMES EMERY WHITE is the president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, with campuses in South Hamilton (Massachusetts), Boston, Charlotte and Jacksonville.
