Of course, our comprehension of that truth is never complete or exhaustive. Our understanding is filtered through our fallible, fallen human minds, influenced by our culture and circumstances. Yet there are windows to transcendence. God’s word in Scripture gives us access to truths that are “not of human origin” (Gal. 1:11 NIV). Over against postmodern historicism and relativism, Christianity makes the liberating claim that humans have access to transhistorical truths because God himself has spoken.
