Truth or Trend? Author Dissects Today’s Belief Systems in New Book

Harold Peeples offers a candid exploration of belief and his search for eternal truth

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — After his 59^th high school class reunion left him reminiscing on the past and how he had changed, both mentally and spiritually, over the years, healthcare professional and lay Christian thinker Harold Peeples recounted how his search for truth lead him to be the man he is today. He now shares that journey in his new book, “Quid est Veritas?: (What is Truth?).”

Written in a first-person narrative, the book traces the author’s life journey, integrating personal anecdotes, cultural commentary, and theological reflection in an effort to confront the question “What is truth?” It follows Peeples’ intellectual and spiritual pursuit of truth across different stages of life and from multiple angles: philosophical, scientific, cultural, and biblical. He warns readers early on that he makes no effort to be politically correct and often critiques the “woke” mindset, modern academia, and media bias.

Peeples critiques modern culture’s fluid definitions of truth, which he states are shaped more by feelings, ideology, and consensus than objective reality. He lays out his approach as that of a curious layman committed to discovering the immutable truth that governs both temporal life and eternal destiny, emphasizing the idea that truth equals reality, and both remain unchanged regardless of belief or denial. Peeples criticizes cultural relativism and emphasizes that truth has consequences, whether acknowledged or not.

The real foundation for truth, Peeples argues, is belief in God. He introduces scripture as the ultimate authority and Jesus Christ as the embodiment of truth. Without this belief, he asserts, one’s pursuit of truth is misdirected from the start. Peeples outlines his methodology as a truth-seeker, drawing from his medical background, where he compares spiritual truth to diagnostic accuracy, noting that misdiagnosing a condition can lead to disaster.

“Truth is not a concept but a person; Jesus Christ,” Peeples explains. “We all have a personal responsibility to seek what is actually true virsus what we want to be true. Truth must be pursued, verified, applied, and guarded. Real truth, unchanging and eternal, is found only in God, through his word.”
