A Course-Correction Back to God's Truth: New Book Tours History to Pinpoint What Has Made the Modern World So Weird
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26, 2021 /
Christian Newswire/ -- How did we arrive at a society where lies are true and facts are "offensive"? In an ambitious new book, Catholic author and podcast host Gary Michuta offers an answer.
Revolt Against Reality is a roller coaster ride through history, starting with the fall of Adam and Eve and passing all the way through to our modern age of secularism, indifference, and excess. Michuta delves into epoch-setting events, from the Christological heresies of the early Church and the Protestant Reformation to the corruption of Catholic academia and the battle of the sexes, at each step highlighting common threads that connect every human crisis with our first parents' rebellion against God's truth.
Each heresy, each war, each cultural controversy is one more step away from the truth manifested in the incarnation of Christ--a move away from reality and toward insanity. And we need to reverse that trend.
"The cultural chaos of our world is so thick and pervasive that it's easy to lose perspective or, worse, despair," says Todd Aglialoro, director of publishing for Catholic Answers. "But in breaking down the core elements of evil, Gary Michuta also demystifies evil--and shows us how to fight it."
It took many small steps away from the truth, over centuries, for the world to get as out of whack as it is now. But once we know how we abandoned the truth, and why the world stopped making sense, we can begin charting a course back to reality.
