Post-Truth was Oxford Dictionary’s 2016 word of the year.

Why? Because it captures the current mood and preoccupations all around the world.

Plainly, the dictionary defines post-truth as a situation in which feelings trump facts, and Oxford suggests it may become a defining word of our time.

A New Book

On the heels of this declaration comes a new book, Saving Truth: Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World.

The author is Abdu Murray, North American Director and Itinerent Speaker for Ravi Zacharias International.

Abdu has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Juris Doctorate from University of Michigan Law School, and is a Scholar in Residence at Josh McDowell Institute of Oklahoma Weslyan University. Notably, he is also a former Muslim, turned Christian.

He’s also the author of two other books, Grand Central Question and Apocalypse Later

Seeds Planted Long Ago

According to Murray, seeds of our current post-truth culture were planted thousands of years ago when Adam and Eve walked and talked with God in the cool of the day.

God, the source of all truth, had one command for them, “Do not eat from a certain tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you do, you will surely die.

Of course, we know Eve ate that apple and her husband, Adam, was influenced to take a bite, too. Satan preyed upon their fleshly desires. At that point, the truth no longer mattered to them.

The seeds of our post-truth were planted in a garden—and not with a big tree.
