    About this audiobook

    How can Christians defend truth and clarity to a world that rejects both?

    Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant.

    Conversely, those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant. This cultural phenomenon led the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary to name "post-truth" their word of the year in 2016. It's popularity and relevance has only increased since then.

    By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the Culture of Confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks.

    Ultimately, Saving Truth provides arguments from a Christian perspective for the foundations of truth and how those foundations impart clarity to the biggest topics of human existence:

    • Freedom.
    • Human dignity.
    • Sexuality, Gender, and Identity.
    • Science and Faith.
    • Religious pluralism and Morality.

     For those enmeshed in the culture of confusion, Saving Truth offers a way to untangle oneself and find hope in the clarity that Christ offers.

      It shows the reasonableness of Christianity and absurdity of unbelief.

      Very easy to understand. Was tremendously edified. Thank you so much To the author I learned so much and now I’m going to try to teach what I have learned.
    • 5/5
      A must read for Christians. I love Abdu Murray's fair look at our culture today. He is unbiased challenging both Christians and non-Christians not to criticize too harshly but to be fair in recognizing our own biases. I plan to listen again soon because I missed some.
    • 5/5
      Abdu Murray shows in spectacular fashion how the Christian worldview brings clarity and hope in a world where confusion is a virtue and hope is illusive. Thoroughly enjoyed it
    • 5/5
      Although I have not yet finished this book, it has incredible teaching on numerous valuable areas of thought. Murray has so many deep insights that I feel this book is a must read. More to come....
