The urge to seek out meaning and purpose in life is part of the human condition; there is a universal longing to make sense of the world. In our present cultural moment in the West, people have been hindered in this pursuit by a spiritual malaise, obfuscating truth like a thick fog obscures a mountain path. We feel the need as acutely as ever, but modern culture tells us meaning and purpose must be invented, rather than discovered. Instead of the sense of liberation promised, this call to invent our own meaning has not led to greater joy, purpose and freedom, but to anxiety, dislocation and isolation, because the assumption that we are creators of our own reality has deprived us of any basis for believing that meaning, truth and beauty are knowable, given realities with objective standards.
In A Time to Search, Joe Boot explains how the biblical worldview makes sense of the whole of reality, wrestling with questions common to the human experience about suffering, truth, morality, guilt, and the claims of the person of Jesus. In an era where many feel as though they are wandering in a cloud of confusion, now is a time to search for a constant, faithful, and unfailing foundation to build a life upon.
