A Judeo-Christian Appraisal of Major Theories of Truth

Philosophy

“The Roman governor Pontius Pilate famously asked Jesus, ‘what is truth?’ Also, one of the most important claims Jesus of Nazareth made about himself was identifying himself with the truth when he said, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.’ After presenting, discussing, and critically and insightfully evaluating major theories of truth, Joseph Okello offers an informative elucidation of how to understand Jesus’s claim that he is the truth and what the Bible appears to teach about truth and how truth relates to God. One crucial upshot of this book is an argument from the nature of truth for the existence of God, which Okello calls alethic ontological argument for God’s existence. This book will be of general interest to anyone who wants to learn something valuable about various theories of truth. Christian readers, in particular, can gain insightful ways of thinking about God and truth.”
