In this work, Paul O'Callaghan underscores the significance of truth as the object of witnessing. In the contemporary era, characterized by an abundance of information emanating from myriad sources, the significance of authentic witnessing has become paramount. The testimony is first and foremost that of those who put their lives on the line and thereby seal the credibility of their witness. This book meticulously delineates the rationale, value, and imperative of receiving and embracing the testimony of truth, particularly that of the primary witness who has asserted: "I am the Truth".

Any book by Paul O'Callaghan is a major publishing event, given the near-uniqueness of his theological and philosophical breadth and his rare mastery of the relevant scholarship in all the European languages. This book is no exception. Building upon his prior work in theological anthropology and offering something of a sequel to his study of Christianity and modernity, Faith Challenges Culture, O'Callaghan places the human person and personal encounter-witnessing-at the center of evangelization, just as Christ is the true witness to the Father, and the apostles to Christ. As O'Callaghan shows, witness is rejected as a test of truth by Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Vattimo and embraced by Kierkegaard, Marcel, and Balthasar. An immensely valuable book.
