This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. The discipline of mathematics has not been spared the sweeping critique of postmodernism. Is mathematical theory true for all time, or are mathematical constructs in fact fallible? This fascinating book examines the tensions that have arisen between modern and postmodern views of mathematics, explores alternative theories of mathematical truth, explains why the issues are important, and shows how a Christian perspective makes a difference.

This is a weighty volume and is not light reading; yet, it is worth forging through to see where mathematical perspective has been and where it is going in relationship to world views. Especially interesting are the essays on how the post-modern, relativistic world views mathematical truths. The collection of authors who contributed to the book is impressive, especially considering their diverse educational and theological backgrounds.
