Editorial Reviews:

Product Description

“This book continues the Schaeffer-inspired project that Nancy Pearcey and Chuck Colson began in How Now Shall We Live??awakening evangelical Christians to the need for a Christian ?worldview,’ which Pearcey defines as ?a biblically informed perspective on all reality.’ This is the rare long book that leaves one wanting to read more.”
?Publishers Weekly

“On one level, this book is a lucid, easy-to-understand manual for worldview thinking. But it also breaks new ground in worldview analysis.”
?World Magazine

“Pearcey is an outstanding writer with the ability not only to express deep thoughts in a very readable way, but one who also understands a biblically reformed world and life view. If you buy only one book this year, this would be at the top of the list.”
?Equip for Ministry

“Pearcey helps readers see how many modern Christians unwittingly accept a sacred/secular split, which allows them to relegate faith to the private sphere of life. She then clearly puts forth a Scriptural picture of integrating all of life under the liberating Lordship of Christ and shows what that truth means for the areas of public policy, family life, science, business, law, education, and more.”
?Covenant Magazine

Total Truth questions the modern American cultural attitude of keeping religion a private matter, claiming that Christianity’s truth is best served by being brought into the public sphere to maximize its influence.”
?Midwest Book Review

“Thoroughly researched, well-written and well-argued, Total Truth will prove to be a useful and easily accessible guidebook for many who seek to develop a comprehensive biblical worldview that affects not only beliefs but actions.”
?CaliforniaRepublic.org

How can you liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity? In this superbly crafted cultural analysis, a noted author passionately argues that Christianity is truth about all reality, not just religious truth, and that to keep it privatized is stripping it of the power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture.

5 out of 5 stars Discover the difference between Conservative thinking and Liberal thinking   August 25, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book displays in graphic detail why even Liberal Christians and those in Politics think the way they do and why Conservative Christians and those in Politics think.It put into words what I have always thought.
Thank you Nancy!!!



5 out of 5 stars A Book Borrowed, Soon to be Bought   August 23, 2008
In a postmodern age of conflicting World-views and relegated religious values, Pearcy's book hits hard with pinpoint accuracy. A diagnosis of modern thought, the history which led to it, and the schism of ideas that we now accept in the public sphere, Total Truth is not just a deconstruction of modern naturalism, it draws a picture of a completed Christian Worldview. I borrowed this book from a friend, but will soon add it to my library. I highly recommend "Total Truth."


5 out of 5 stars Insightful research on a present-day dilemma   August 17, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As a Christian, I have found myself at odds with the Christian culture without fully understanding why. Nancy Pearcey has done the research and answered a lot of my intuitive questions. Rather than expressing a judgmental opinion, she has sought the facts to build understanding which can lead to a wise response. This is a right-on book for today.


4 out of 5 stars A valuable contribution to the importance of Christianity, culturally!   March 30, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book intelligibly offers why Christianity should and can prevail regardless of its cultural context. Pearcey is a well-qualified author to write this sort of book. Consider this book to be a handbook to modern times and Christianity's involvement to the most important issues of our day. For a thorough "manifesto" that can lead contemporary evangelicals into the contemporary cultural discussion, along with being a worthwhile companion to TOTAL TRUTH, I heartily recommend JP Moreland's KINGDOM TRIANGLE book (www.kingdomtriangle.com).


5 out of 5 stars Absolute MUST HAVE reference on Christian thought!   March 28, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book should be REQUIRED READING for every student at some point in time during their education. It does a great job of explaining the Christian worldview outside of the culture of individual churches that often drag that same worldview in the mud at times.

I highly recommend this work for religious studies classes and students, for those in the Church that are interested in becoming equipped as Christian thinkers, and for those investigating the claims of Christ and Christianity.

After reading over 3000 books on theology and Christianity in my life, I find that "Total Truth" does as good a job of explaining the Christian worldview as anything I've read.
