Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity

Satisfying, Genuine, Scholarly

Though it wasn't a narrative, it definitely had characters (hundreds of philosophers, scientists, ministers and more were cited!) My favorite was Francis Schaeffer, a powerful witness who showed true hospitality and love towards those he ministered to.

I read the book at 3x the normal speed so her pronunciation and accurate rendition of the work's construction were invaluable.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a reasonable, rational exposition on a Christian worldview and a vigorous and needed dissembling of Darwinian scientism.This is a great book for a Christian thinker and a good challenge to the feel good wave of Christianity that is doing great damage to the Church, ceding precious ground to secularists who seek to compartmentalize Christianity as just another form of spiritism and to simply dismiss it from public debate in the areas of science, history, etc. This book asserts that the naturalist/materialist worldview is as religious as any other belief system cloaking itself in science, and that it's a worldview that shuns all truth that does not conform to their naturalist paradigm.The major flaw in this book is in the fourth section, where Pearcey discusses the evangelist movement in the colonies and later United States. She reveals her personal bias. She's obviously Reformed/Lutheran and dismisses any theological challenge to Calvinism as "anti-intellectual." While this section is still filled with worthwhile history, her conclusions are the weakest in the entire book and is rather sad way to end what is otherwise an amazing thesis on the Christian Worldview.

From topic to topic it remains engaging and illuminating. Articulates the historical path and alterations made to the Christian worldview. Isolates where its been altered and by what influential hand. Enables the reader to connects the dots. Come to a fuller understanding as to the decline of the Christian worldview as an integral component in the active world. Illustrates the damage done through secular worldview. Eventually realizing the truth of the Christian worldview. Reinstituting the redemptive foundational Christian worldview is a last bastion of society

I'm really glad I listened to this book. It summarizes various worldviews and explains their origins. It is likely harder to listen than to read this book due to the dense and specific nature of the content. However I'm so glad I could listen to it during my commute. I highly recommend this to any Christian wanting to think critically about their and others worldviews.

Essential reading for everyone over 16 years of age. You will learn the real issues behind competing worldviews, religions, and philosophies. My only critique is that the book could have been better organized as a whole.

I have three books by Nancy the I will be reading. This is the first and foundational to the others. I highly recommend this book as a way to clear cobwebs in our muddled minds and put illuminating understanding and perspective into every nook and corner of our minds.

This book is full. It deals with Christian spirituality, epistemology, apologetic discourse, testimony, history. It really is full of great material. Nancy writes in the line of a Reformed apologetic perspective while discussing a range of different topics. She interacts with many different streams of thought. The reader also does a very good job, not boring or monotone. My one objection is the way the chapters are broken up. The audio was not compiled well, however you can find break periods every 15-20 minutes.

Not as good as the 2015 "Finding Truth." It was marred by right-wing adulation of Bush and Gingrich. However, when it was published in 2009 their reputations were higher. Perhaps the author's moral clarity has sharpened since then. But one wonders. 80% of evangelicals support those paragons of Christian virtue Trump and O'Reilly.

I will never be the same ever! I feel as if as a Christian I can breath for the first time. I have been set free! Thus book is a God send. You will want to buy many copies and give them as gifts.

i loved the clarity and information given to explain the christian worldview and debunk rivals
