Offers an overview of the doctrine of revelation while responding to some of postmodernity's objections. In today's postmodern world truth is increasingly difficult to define and defend. The quintessential questions we find ourselves asking are, "Is there such a thing as truth?" And, if so, "How are we to define what truth is?" The Bible is very clear: all truth comes from God, and he has made it known to us. In this Gospel Coalition booklet, Richard D. Phillips answers the question, "Can we know the truth?" He points us to the Bible as the revelation of God's character and his design for our lives. Refuting postmodern objections, Phillips explains the role of truth in the Christian life and demonstrates truth put into practice. This is a great booklet to distribute to those asking if we can know anything with absolute certainty. Can We Know the Truth? offers a thoughtful explanation for point two of the Gospel Coalition's confessional statement. The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical renewal movement dedicated to a scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.

Richard D. Phillips was raised in an Army family and grew up on posts around America. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he followed his father and grandfather by serving as a tank officer. While in graduate school in Philadelphia, his mother urged him to start attending church again, so he visited the Tenth Presbyterian Church. The message he heard that night changed his life, a sermon from the Old Testament book of Hosea about God’s redeeming love for sinners through the cross of Jesus Christ. He quickly became active in Officer’s Christian Fellowship during the years he was teaching leadership at West Point. He began leading a Bible study for students and was then asked to write a daily devotional before finally starting to preach at Christian meetings. Through these experiences, he concluded that God was calling him into a full-time pulpit ministry, so he left the Army and embarked on fulfilling God’s call to the ordained ministry. He now serves as senior minister of Second Presbyterian Church in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. He frequently speaks at conferences on the Bible and theology and is active in overseas missions, especially in East Africa. He likes to spend time with his wife and children and is a loyal follower of his alma mater, the Michigan Wolverines, as well as an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox.
