The very idea of truth as a substantial and meaningful concept has been under attack recently from advocates of New Age and postmodern theories. In this book Englebretsen defends the notions of truth and objectivity as key to the scientific view of the natural world and presents an original defence of the 'commonsense' correspondence theory of truth. Englebretsen's approach overcomes the traditional difficulties of correspondence theories of truth with providing adequate and convincing accounts of truth-bearers, truth-makers and the correspondence relation between them by taking truth-bearers to be propositions and facts as constitutive properties of the world. This accessibly written book surveys all of the major competing theories of truth (coherence, pragmatic, redundancy, semantic, deflationary, disquotational, minimalist) before formulating the new defence of the correspondence theory and then exploring the consequences of the theory for issues in epistemology and ontology. The book concludes by showing how the idea of 'propositional depth' can be used to dissolve the Liar paradoxes.

THE NAKED TRUTH-Was decided upon after I realized that the lives of many believers are lacking the fundamental Biblical truths. Because of the many denominations and doctrines the believer is left confused and not knowing what to believe anymore. It is hoped that this book will bring some relive and certainty to the reader by taking you on a journey through the Scriptures. It also attempts to deal with very sensitive issues hardly taught or wrongly taught in some churches. It will stir the waters and rock the boat; forcing the reader to come out of his/her comfort zone. This is its prime goal! Its secondary goal is to revolutionize the mind and create a hunger for the Word of truth. It is my sincere prayer that God touches you as you read on and that He instils a burning desire in your heart for the revelation of the word of truth. May the Holy Spirit anoint every word written for the Glory of God and for the empowerment of His people!
