Discernment and Truth
Woven throughout the book are key themes central to Christian discernment, including the corporate character of the Christian life, the distinction between practice and theory, and the centrality of the Trinity. McIntosh brings a high degree of scholarly rigor to the study, as well as drawing the reader ever more deeply into the mystery that, while eluding all attempts at formal comprehension, is central to Christian life.
This volume also includes study questions for private reading and classroom use.
“In these days, when questions regarding what constitutes Christian truth and how it is discerned seem to abound, this book is indeed timely. The book makes plain that discernment of truth, be it personal or communal, takes us beyond intellection into the realm of God’s love, which is the ground of all knowing.”
—The Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold, presiding bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church in the United States
