About this ebook

Right now, truth is under attack, and much is at stake. Perhaps no one in America is more passionate than John MacArthur about exposing those who are mounting this attack--especially those bringing the assault right into the church.

There is no middle ground--no safe zone for the uncommitted in this war. The battle for truth is raging, and this book reveals:

• The pitfalls of postmodern thinking
• Why the Emerging Church Movement is inherently flawed
• Past skirmishes in the Truth War and their effect on the Church
• The importance of truth and certainty in a postmodern society
• How to identify and address the errors and false teachings smuggled into churches

"[The postmodern age] is the age of no truth, an age that has reached a point of deadly fatigue when it comes to facing the truth?a generation that no longer believes truth can be known. Dr. John MacArthur knows better, and he is armed with the courage to confront this age with a bold defense of truth. . . . His argument is compelling, his defense of truth is brilliant, and his concern for the church is evident on every page. The evangelical church desperately needs this book, and it arrives just in time." --R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Ratings and reviews

MacArthur gives a strong expository defense for the Truth War. He is definitely leading well, and I find his work one of genius, and I appreciate what he writes. He uses Scripture very effectively to prove his point, and although I wish to do a deeper review of the entire book in my personal, noting the strong and weak points of the book, I believe that overall this book speaks Scriptural Truth with Flying Colours! Thank you John. I found this book quite helpful, and it began to help me see the problems with the church I was beforehand ignorant of. I appreciate your work. Blessings

Puts a lot of things in perspective. Everyone should read this one.

WOW!! A MUCH NEEDED BOOK!
