What is this investigation about?

A person can be intelligent and still be deceived, educated and still be mistaken, sincere and still be following a path away from truth. Scripture calls this danger folly.

The Bible's fool is often not the person with the least intelligence, but the one who refuses correction, trusts his own judgment above examination, and follows the crowd rather than the evidence.

What will you examine?

  • Why people can be completely convinced — and still be wrong
  • How pride blinds us to contradicting evidence
  • Whether a majority can be wrong, even when respected leaders agree
  • How fear, reputation and social pressure shape what we accept as truth
  • How to tell whether you are examining your beliefs or merely defending them

Descriptions summarise the author's argument as presented in the book. Readers are encouraged to check the cited sources and weigh the conclusions themselves.
