Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, ch. 6
I really appreciate this chapter as I had never thought through the various approaches to truth theory. Filled with excellent distinctions, arguments, and objections to post-modern thought, MC do a great job of continuing to lay a foundation for Christianity. I have bumped up against this more times than I had realized particularly in the writing of Peter Rollins. Most helpful was the description of the truth-bearer and truth-maker. Truth-bearers are propositions about reality that really do correspond with reality. Much is said about this. Truth-makers are the states of affair that make the proposition true. Another helpful part of this chapter was the exercise to demonstrate that truth can be experienced, though it is not a physical thing through the story of Joe and Frank.
