Your last point I find most interesting of all. You said something about this to me some months ago and I found it very illuminating. Too often our concept of truth is very modernistic — a set of propositions that are objectively true *per se* instead of as a consequence of their origin. As flawed as some postmodern thought can be, there is something to the idea that truth is relational. Truth is true because God, who is Truth, has revealed it. There is no impersonal standard to which we can turn. The standard is a Person, indeed a human person: Jesus.
I could not have said this any better. Exactly the things I loved and loathed about this book.
