"I went through every page twice, taking notes on each page. I usually give this sort of scrutiny to books I am critiquing to correct. This time I did it with a book I affirm. I highly endorse Menno's well-written book."
— Bob DeWaay, Critical Issues Commentary
"The tone and depth throughout carry the fearless spirit of Dr. Francis Schaeffer's emphasis on 'true truth.'"
— John A. Beardsley III, Apprising Ministries / Christian Research Network
"Theologically precise without losing the layman reader... Zweers consistently takes the subjective opinions of man to scripture."
— Paul Massey, We Would Rather Have Jesus
"This is an easy-to-read and thoughtful book that will encourage you to rest in the Word of God once delivered to the saints."
— Dawn Hill, The Lovesick Scribe
"Zweers is not afraid to name names, but it is not out of vindictiveness. It is a well-intentioned and corrective look at how we have drifted dangerously away from Sola Scriptura."
— Greg Bailey, Bassist — Petra
Pilate stood face to face with the Son of God and asked the most important question in human history: "What is truth?" Then he walked away without waiting for the answer.
Millions are doing the same thing today.
We live in a generation that has been told, from every direction and in every medium, that truth is personal — something to be constructed, curated, and adjusted to fit the individual. "Your truth." "My truth." "What works for me." Even within the church, this mindset has taken root. Pulpits that once thundered with Scripture now dispense therapy. Doctrine has been replaced by dialogue. And the gospel — the one gospel, the only gospel — has in many places been quietly swapped for a message that is easier to hear and impossible to be saved by.
What makes this a crisis is not that the world has abandoned truth. The world always does. What makes it a crisis is that the church has followed.
In What Is Truth?, author Menno Zweers delivers a bold, uncompromising call back to the only foundation that will hold: the Word of God alone.
With prophetic urgency and pastoral care, this book exposes:
• How post-truth culture has infiltrated the modern church
• Why sincerity, emotion, and personal experience are not the same as truth
• How movements like the New Apostolic Reformation, the Emergent Church, and the Prosperity Gospel have redefined core biblical words — keeping the vocabulary of Christianity while gutting its content
• Why there is only one correct interpretation of every biblical text — and why that matters eternally
• What the Reformation's battle cry of Sola Scriptura means for believers today
• The real cost of standing for truth in the end times — and why it is worth it
This book will challenge you. It may correct you. It will ask you to submit to things that are harder than what you have been told. But it will also anchor you to the one foundation that will not move when everything else does.
This is not a book for those who want to be comfortable. It is a book for those who want to be anchored.
Truth is not a concept. It is a Person. His name is Jesus. And He has not changed.
Buy the truth — and sell it not. (Proverbs 23:23)
