A few days ago, I had a radio interview with Kevin Boling, pastor of Mountain Bridge Bible Fellowship and host of the radio program “Knowing the Truth.” In that interview for “Knowing the Truth,” Pastor Boling and I discussed a book that I edited in 2005, Whatever Happened to Truth? Contributing authors included Al Mohler, J. P. Moreland, and Kevin Vanhoozer. The book opens with my article, “’What is Truth?’ Pilate’s Question in its Johannine and Larger Biblical Context.” Al Mohler contributed the essay, “Truth and Contemporary Culture.” The chapter entitled “Truth, Contemporary Philosophy, and the Postmodern Turn” was written by J. P. Moreland. Kevin Vanhoozer offers the article “Lost in Interpretation? Truth, Scripture, and Hermeneutics.”

Here is what one reviewer said about the book: “Here is an anomaly: Christians outside the West dying because they believe their faith is true and Christians inside the West doffing their hats to the idea and then looking the other way! This book explores what it should mean to say that Christians know the truth, doing so in ways that are searching, sure-footed, biblically convincing, and intellectually satisfying.” (David F. Wells, Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary).
