Harold Peeples' New Book Explores the Nature of Truth in Today's World

Harold Peeples' Journey to Truth: A Review of "Quid est Veritas? (What is Truth?)"



After an introspective moment during his 59th high school reunion, Harold Peeples has taken an extraordinary leap into exploring belief systems through his new book titled Quid est Veritas? (What is Truth?). As a healthcare professional and lay Christian thinker, Peeples uses his life experiences and reflections to navigate the often murky waters of truth.

The book is written in a first-person narrative and provides readers with a glimpse into Peeples’ intellectual and spiritual quest for truth. Throughout his life, he has grappled with questions surrounding truth from various perspectives, including philosophical, scientific, cultural, and biblical standpoints. Peeples emphasizes that he holds no desire to conform to political correctness, often critiquing what he observes as a rising 'woke' culture, along with bias within modern academia and media.

In his examination of truth, Peeples argues convincingly that modern culture's definitions are subject to fluctuating feelings and ideologies rather than grounded in objective reality. He asserts his commitment as a layman to find unchanging truths that govern both our earthly existence and eternal destinies. Central to Peeples' belief is the idea that truth is synonymous with reality—immutable and unaffected by personal beliefs or societal trends.

Critiquing the current cultural relativism, Peeples reminds readers of the consequences that come with ignoring established truths. According to him, the pinnacle of truth is rooted in a belief in God. He introduces biblical scripture as the ultimate authority, positing that Jesus Christ represents the embodiment of truth. Without this foundational belief, he asserts that any pursuit of truth is fundamentally misdirected.

The author lays out his journey as one of a diligent seeker, drawing parallels between his medical profession and spiritual inquiry. Peeples likens understanding spiritual truths to accurately diagnosing medical conditions, warning that misdiagnosis can lead to disastrous consequences. As he eloquently states, 'Truth is not a concept but a person; Jesus Christ.'

Peeples emphasizes that every individual has the responsibility to comprehend what is genuinely true, as opposed to what they merely wish to be true. He stresses that pursuing truth requires effort—verifying, applying, and protecting what one discovers. Real, unchanging truth, he asserts, is exclusively found in God and through His Word.

Set against the backdrop of his rich life experiences, Peeples offers candid anecdotes and theological reflections that resonate with many. His aim is not to present himself as a theologian or accredited philosopher but rather as a seeker of truth who encourages others to embark on similar quests. By bravely sharing his insights in Quid est Veritas?, Peeples reminds readers of the importance of navigating through noise, skepticism, and subjective feeling towards a firm grasp of eternal truths.

Quid est Veritas? (What is Truth?) is more than just an analysis of modern belief systems; it is a call to action for individuals to adopt a discerning mindset in their own lives. As Peeples continues to explore these themes on his website, www.haroldpeeples.com, readers are invited to join him on this radical journey towards understanding what truth genuinely signifies in a world awash with uncertainty and ambiguity.

Quid est Veritas? (What is Truth?) is available for purchase through WestBow Press, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, providing an accessible means for readers to delve into the intricate complexities of truth mediated through the lens of faith and personal experience.
