Discernment and Truth

the long version

"Discernment and Truth is a series of extended meditations on discernment in the Christian life. Each chapter investigates the way thinkers, writers, and theologians from the Christian tradition have grappled with the questions surrounding discernment. 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, and draws 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."--BOOK JACKET.
