Reviews

Stephen Heathorn, Department of History, McMaster University:

"Truth, Morality, and Meaning in History is a somewhat personalized reflection on the state of the current historical profession from an accomplished practitioner after retiring from academia. Arguing that there has been an emptying of higher meaning, morality, and even the questioning of absolute truth in the writing of history, this book calls for a return to the consideration of the philosophy of history among historians themselves, and provides a theistic challenge to existing historiography."

Anthony Brundage, Department of History, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona:

"In discussing history beyond the academy, Paul T. Phillips reveals the difficulty of maintaining high standards in a post-truth era."
