''These pages offer a detailed look at the divine recipe for discovering what the Lord has in store for us, and where on this planet we can find his road map. How do we discover, in the increasing welter of conflicting claims, what is the meaning of life, and what are we to think about the varying denials that there is a meaning? In this information age, we are threatened with suffocation by the media's avalanche of papers and periodicals, radio, film and television, cyberspace and the Internet. Where do ordinary people find the fresh air of ultimate reality and know with certitude that they have found it? No other question approaches this one for crucial importance. Consistent theism demands a cogent answer. No theist with a sound, consistent and reflecting mind is going to be content with value clarification and mere pragmatism. When and how does God speak? What are the conditions that ready a person to recognize divine truth and enable him to embrace it? Does the Lord allow for philosophical and religious relativism? How do we deal with the welter of conflicting interpretations of divine revelation? What keeps the faithful from being led astray? How can we know a genuine experience of God as distinguished from the illusions of subjectivity? What are we to think of illuminism, the age-old but foundationless conviction of enthusiasts that they have a privileged access to the divine mind, people who are so convinced that they possess divine light that contrary evidence makes not the least dent in their self-assurance? What is intellectual conversion and how does it come about? What are the signs pointing to those who understand revelation rightly - and those who do not? The correct answers to these questions, and others related to them, can be summarized by the one word, authenticity.'' (Dubay, in the preface) And it is to the biblical unpacking of discerning authenticity that Dubay devotes his full attention and reflective acumen in this study. An important work for any Christian who really seeks truth in their reading, writing, worship and experiences.
