Introduction
Western people in the 1990's are experiencing the most sweeping shift
in perspective since the enlightenment. The Death of Truth details
the dramatic and earth-shaking conversion of western society from the
modernist world view to the postmodern world view. No book can take
you more quickly and painlessly into the heart of the new postmodern
outlook than The Death of Truth. You will feel the lights going
on time after time as you read this easy-to-understand volume
This Study Guide is designed to help groups discuss the book section
by section as members read through it on their own. Each week, appoint
one discussion facilitator. The facilitator needs to carefully read
the section in The Death of Truth for that week, and look over
the discussion questions and suggested answers in the facilitator's
guide ahead of time in order to offer leading thoughts. For each week,
we have provided more material than you will likely be able to cover.
Therefore, the facilitator should select the questions for study each
weak. Avoid lecture, except for short 2 to 3 minute explanations or
transitions. If people discuss and struggle with these concepts they
will feel more satisfaction and depth in their learning.
Encourage every participant to buy his or her own copy of The Death
of Truth, (couples can share) and to bring them to your meetings.
The Death of Truth is published by Bethany House Publishers,
and is available through any bookstore, especially Christian bookstores.
Discounted copies are also available from our Worldwide Web Site at
http://www.crossrds.org. When the guide says to read a section from
the book, ask one of the members to read aloud, while the others follow
along. Reading is an easy way to help start people speaking and participating.
As written, this study could take 15 to 20 weeks to complete. If you
want to shorten the number of weeks, we recommend skipping some of the
"Postmodern Impact" chapters. We do not recommend skipping
the first three or the last two chapters.
We have arranged each week's study so you can copy the "Discussion
Guide" for your group members while giving only the facilitator
the "Facilitator's guide" which includes suggested answers.
Questions asking only for personal opinion have been left without suggested
answers.
The entire discussion guide is copyrighted, but you may copy it for
non-commercial study purposes provided you copy and distribute at least
whole weekly sections unaltered, and give credit to the authors. You
may also get a FREE copy of the guide on-line for use in your
word processor at our Worldwide Web Site.
