What is Truth?

Navigating a World of Faith, Science, and Noise 

by Aaron D. Franklin

The world we live in is filled with wondrous truths and outrageous falsehoods. The amount of information produced worldwide in a single day would require several lifetimes for an individual to consume. How do we navigate between quiet truth and the constant onslaught of noisy untruth in such a world? How do we find truth in a world that increasingly and inaccurately pits scientific truth against religious truth? How do we treat those whose views on what is true differ from our own? What do we mean by truth, anyway?

What Is Truth? describes the relationship between scientific and gospel truth through parables, scientific examples, and simple diagrams. Dr. Aaron Franklin, a scientist, thinker, and author of The Spiritual Physics of Light, provides strategies for discovering, holding on to, and cherishing the most powerful and sacred truth, which brings peace that “passeth all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). This peace can penetrate even the most tumultuous of life’s storms. Ultimately, as we hold to the word of God and keep Christ at the center of all truth, we can continue on the path to “comprehend[ing] all things” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:67).
