Overview

Our postmodern world has immersed us in a wave of social, economic, political, and cultural change. As citizens of the information age, we're bombarded with advertising enticements, Internet connectivity, and technological marvels. Digital recorders, Wi-Fi, iPods, and satellite TV bring us anything we want to see and hear. We are given few boundaries and even less accountability. It's a world where nothing is taboo and almost anything goes.

In this uncertain time of competing ideologies, changing philosophies, and emerging theology, is it possible to have an objective system of thought? Is there still a moral compass that we can rely on-one that accommodates change without compromising truth?

Dismantling the Myths answers these questions by rising above the confusion of our time to provide direction with the rational light of verifiable truth. With sound insight, Frank Moore exposes the myths of relativism, pluralism, egoism, hedonism, determinism, secular humanism, and nihilism. He offers in-depth understanding and practical strategies to help you align your life with the values and beliefs of our Christian faith. If you're struggling to find truth and definition in the cluttered beliefs of a post-Christian society, Dismantling the Myths will clarify the confusion and help you uncover the solid, eternal Rock on which to stand.

About the Author:
Frank Moore currently serves as professor of theology and director of the Center for Faith and Culture Studies at Olivet Nazarene University
