Does God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant?
In today's cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture.
In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself, which functions as a gatekeeper, ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena.
How can we unify our fragmented lives and recover spiritual power? With examples from the lives of real people, past and present, Pearcey teaches readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical, hands-on steps for crafting 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. This new study guide edition is filled with fresh stories, examples, and illustrations. Based on questions and comments raised by readers of the book, it is ideal for individual or group study.

Total Truth: Liberating Christianity From Its Cultural Captivity (Study Guide Edition)$38.99
Total Truth has had a greater impact on me than almost any other book (and I don't say that lightly). Pearcey is a leading Christian thinker who is both gracious and firm, accessible and thorough in this book. \\n\\nAt risk of over-simplifying the book, here is a summary: Pearcey explores the concept of worldview and how it relates to the everyday Christian life (at work, during recreation, as well as doing what we would consider traditional 'ministry'). She argues that Christianity is the truth for all of life, not just for """"religious"""" life (hence, the title """"Total Truth""""). \\n\\nReally highly recommended - this book is for any thinking Christian.

Very helpful!
The included Study Guide in this edition was worth the purchase of a title I already have! The questions are very thoughtful and link directly to portions of the text (page numbers provided). Not only do the require intellectual response, but further self reflection.
