Slicing the Truth by Denis R Hirschfeldt Pdf

This book is a brief and focused introduction to the reverse mathematics and computability theory of combinatorial principles, an area of research which has seen a particular surge of activity in the last few years. It provides an overview of some fundamental ideas and techniques, and enough context to make it possible for students with at least a basic knowledge of computability theory and proof theory to appreciate the exciting advances currently happening in the area, and perhaps make contributions of their own. It adopts a case-study approach, using the study of versions of Ramsey's Theorem (for colorings of tuples of natural numbers) and related principles as illustrations of various aspects of computability theoretic and reverse mathematical analysis. This book contains many exercises and open questions.

The Correspondence Theory of Truth by D. J. O'Connor Pdf

First published in 1975, The Correspondence Theory of Truth examines the simplest statements of empirical fact and establishes what we can mean when we say that such statements are true. In particular, the author has considered whether any or all of beliefs, sentences, statements, or propositions are properly said to be true or false. He proceeds to examine what we mean by the term ‘fact’ and what possible relation between facts and beliefs (or their linguistic embodiments) could be meant by the term ‘correspondence’. The second part of the book is a critical survey of important contemporary accounts of truth. The author examines Tarski’s semantic theory to see if it offers a satisfactory reconstruction of the essence of the traditional notion of correspondence, then J.L. Austin’s recent and famous version of the correspondence theory and some criticisms of it by Professor P. E. Strawson. A final chapter summarizes the viable content of the correspondence theory and suggests what problems about truth still remain for discussion if the theory is accepted. This book will be an essential read for students and scholars of Philosophy.

The Truth Book by Joy Castro Pdf

You must always, always tell the truth, no matter the consequences, for you must model yourself on Jehovah, and Jehovah does not lie. This is the most crucial rule of all, Joy Castro is told as a young girl in a Jehovahs Witness family. Joy is 12 years old when her divorced mother marries a brother in the church. He is highly respected in the community, having displayed the ultimate sign of spiritual devotion: he served at Bethel, the Watchtower headquarters in Brooklyn. At home, however, he is a despicable brute. For the two years her mother is married to him, Joy does not grow at all; in fact, she loses 16 pounds, an eloquent testimony to the physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse she suffers at his hands. Her battered mother does nothing to protect her, nor does her church. She is sustained by a consuming fascination for horses and books and her protective love for her younger brother. Their daring escape from this unspeakable cruelty, to discover a nurturing home with their father, is the key to their survival and salvation.

Revelation Truth Volume One by Rev. Daniel W. Blair Pdf

As the world races toward the Great Tribulation, immorality among the world's leaders, increased lawlessness, natural disasters, and anarchy many voices have flooded the blogosphere, YouTube and the social networks to interpret the times. Rev. Blair has risen above the unholy chorus to write a series of timeless articles from a biblical perspective to help Christians stand firm in their faith. This collection of short articles taken from his two popular websites give practical application, prophetic insight, and a clear voice to those in power. As prophet, social activist, and pastor, Daniel Blair writes each article with compassion and uncompromising biblical truth to prod every Christian to pick up the banner of truth and walk in holiness before the Lord. Use as a daily devotional or as a timeless resource during the coming distress. In this volume I discuss the need for a genuine Christian life as we face a decline in the church and an apostate faith by many who claim to be Christian. These articles were written to help Christians stand firm by returning to the Bible as their sole authority, which is sufficient for all of life and godliness.

The Search for Truth by Lawrence Konn Pdf

Aliens to zombies amid a spirited romance populated the pages of The First Second Coming as it explored why people search the skies for messiahs and UFOs. The Search for Truth takes on the science vs. religion debate. Marlene Martindale and Chris Larson are now married, have an infant daughter, live in a small town, and are prospering from Chris' expanding business that serves the neopagan community. Marlene's desire for spirituality has taken her from being a secular humanist to a follower of modern witchcraft, and her dream is to legitimize and popularize the faith by establishing a Wiccan religious center that can be a trip destination for worship, instruction, and even fun. As if the fi nancial and human capital required to plan and build the religious center were not enough, other life events insert themselves for better or worse, such as: - The discovery that infant Olivia has inherited a blindness-causing condition that may or may not be curable. - A lovably odd astrophysicist, whose sister and Marlene were once dear friends, tries to reunite the two women now that the sister seems to have beaten back a deadly cancer. - Marlene restarts her psychotherapy practice aided by a new computer tool to treat her UFO encounter clients. Her first client, however, is someone she'd rather forget. - Eye-opening developments unfold for the kindly alien Guests. And more!

To Know the Truth by Larry Martz Pdf

It's the late '50s, that yeasty time of a new era struggling to be born, and Detroit is still the fabled Motor City, full of vitality, swagger and vivid characters. A young reporter is learning his craft, and the facts of life. A brutal murder turns out to be both more and less than it seems, and a handicapped boy becomes a pawn in covering up the truth. A gifted politician launches what will surely be a national career. A beautiful girl is torn between her love and the aphrodisiac of power. The story probes the city's gamy underside, from Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters and their gangland allies to the "respectable" men who deal with them under the table. In the end, the tangle of interlaced schemes erupts into national news.
