True Truth

Conventional wisdom holds that any belief in *absolutes*, especially of a religious nature, leads inevitably to the oppressive *absolutism* of such movements as the Inquisition, the Crusades and even Nazism. As a result, Christian apologists have been hard-pressed to make a case for the rational absolutes that are a necessary part of belief in Jesus.  
  
Art Lindsley takes up the task in *True Truth*. While maintaining the indispensability of absolutes, he ably demonstrates that faith in Christ is necessarily opposed to and incompatible with the abuses of oppression, arrogance, intolerance, self-righteousness, closed-mindedness and defensiveness.
