The Truth about Truth?

Always polarity when first hearing philosopher's topics, e.g. All Truth is God's Truth? What does this mean? Holmes wants to unload this for us, and does so in very readable and understandable fashion if one focuses on this well-written expose. He laments relativm's impact upon truth and even in church, where common pastoral, devotional and bible study ways are more therapeutic and emotional than truth based. Pragmatism and other concerns pervade too much, playing right into hands of aggressive anti-objective truth scholars. Positing that there is real truth outside of revealed sacred, God=inspired Scripture is true. However, we must realize and confess that such truth is not spiritual truth, dealing with relationship between Creator and Creature but of earthly, worldly matters which Bible doesn't address. Interesting read to ponder.

Holmes decisively exposes contemporary confusion about truth

If you want to understand the Christian view of what Truth is and what it means, especially in contrast to [post]modernity's confusion on that point, this is the book for you. I also recommend Holmes's (much more readily available) "The Idea of a Christian College".
