Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Can a pluralistic nation tolerate an exclusive truth?The year is 2044. The United States is governed by the Statute on Religious Authority (SRA), a law forbidding the public defense of any religious truth claim as factually authoritative on federally accredited platforms. Section 9(d)-the Pluralistic Education provision-strictly outlaws the teaching that one religion is exclusively true while others are false.Enter Christian Cross, a fifty-two-year-old professor of biblical apologetics at a small Christian college in eastern Tennessee. A widower who has already survived five grueling trials on the foundations of his faith, Cross now faces his most devastating legal battle yet. The Office of Statutory Inquiry (OSI), backed by the powerful, private legal foundation known as the Athenaeum, has served him with a sixth indictment. The charge? Taught in good faith, Cross's lifetime of work defending the words of John 14:6-"I am the way, the truth, and the life"-is now deemed an illegal act of cultural exclusion on a federal platform.The trial is set for three weeks in a Knoxville federal courtroom, broadcasted to fifty-eight million households. The prosecution, led by the brilliant, Oxford-trained barrister Bram Frey, plans to put a parade of world religions scholars on the stand. Among them is Dr. Daniel Levin, a Reform Jewish historian and Cross's closest friend of fifteen years.Compelled by law to cross-examine his own running partner on messianic prophecies, and forced to defend his convictions in the court of public opinion where the headline asks Is Christianity Bigotry?, Cross refuses to soften his stance. In a world demanding the dilution of distinct beliefs, The Worldview Trial explores the razor-thin line between exclusive truth claims and deep, human love for one's neighbor.The Worldview Trial: The Cross Examination - Book Seven is a gripping courtroom drama and theological thriller that stands entirely on its own. Written with a rare blend of scholarly rigor and spiritual depth, Dr. Alfred Basta delivers a masterful narrative where the freedom to proclaim the Gospel faces its ultimate, near-future test.
