    Truth: The Basics is a concise and engaging introduction to philosophical theories about the nature of truth. The two authors - leading philosophers in this field - build the book around a single question: what, if anything, is common to all truths, which makes them true? The book explores five important answers ('theories') to the given question: correspondence, semantic, verifiability, transparency, and plurality. For each given theory the following questions are addressed: - What is the theory's answer to the central question?- What is the basic motivation behind that answer?- What is a precise argument for that answer?- What are the biggest objections to that answer?- What are a few good resources for understanding more about the theory?An additional chapter provides an extensive introduction to the notorious liar paradox. Truth: The Basics is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a lively and accessible introduction to the rich and complex philosophical study of truth.Key Features: > Written in a clear and concise fashion.> Clearly explains five major theories of truth for an uninitiated readership of undergraduate students and general readers.> Prepares the reader to tackle more advanced work in truth studies.> Makes connections between truth and other areas of philosophy, including the philosophy of language, semantics, metaphysics, logic and epistemology.> Includes technical appendices for more advanced readers.

    Christian theology is monotheistic, but the idea of the trinity problematises this: how can there be one god, but also Father, Son, and Spirit? Jc Beall provides a simple but logically rigorous solution, arguing that the apparent contradictions of the trinity cannot be rejected without thereby rejecting fundamental truths of divine reality.
