Most of those in the popular vein of the emerging church would probably fit into the former of the two. Chapters 5 and 6 are particularly helpful because Smith analyzes the roots of postmodernism and critiques the emerging church. Smith effectively critiques the idea that we construct our own reality by how we use words how it effects Christian belief and ministry. This means when we read and use Scripture we make it into what it is by how we use it within our local communities.

This basically means that we make God what he is by the way we talk. It is an undercutting of objective truth and embracing in its place relativism and pragmaticism? Religious truth therefore becomes our opinion and values not fact or objective truth.

If you were in the New Testament time, for example, if you wanted Statement 2 is true if, in fact, the city of Los Angeles is located in California. To me, the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places Eph Mainstream evangelicalism always stood against modernism. Long, Jimmy. But most people intuitively understand that truth has something to do with the way the world really is.

The Postmodern Challenge

Van Gelder, Craig, ed. Bessenecker, Scott A. Statement number 1 is true if, in reality, Donald Trump is the current President of the United States. Statement 2 is true if, in fact, the city of Los Angeles is located in California. And statement 3 is true if elective abortion really does kill an innocent human being. Easy enough, right?

Aristotle put it this way:. To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true; so that he who says anything that it is, or that it is not, will say either what is true or what is false. Christian philosopher J.

Moreland notes two main arguments which have been advanced in favor of the correspondence theory of truth: the descriptive and the dialectical. The descriptive argument simply presents specific cases that help illustrate the concept of truth.

What is Postmodernism?

The dialectical argument asserts that those who deny the correspondence theory of truth or present alternative theories actually presuppose the very thing they reject, showing the self-defeating nature and incoherence of their alternative view. Moreland presents this argument in the form of a dilemma:.

Those who reject the correspondence theory either take their own utterances to be true in the correspondence sense or they do not. If the former, then those utterances are self-defeating.

If the latter, there is no reason to accept them, because one cannot take their utterances to be true. In other words, either a proposed view of truth corresponds to reality or it does not. If it does, the arguer presupposes the correspondence view, the very thing he rejects when arguing for an alternative view. On the other hand, if a proposed view does not correspond to reality, then we have no reason to accept it.

Sermon Series

Is the correspondence theory of truth optional for Christians? The apostle Paul stated,. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.

Our belief in the resurrection is not true simply because it works for us the pragmatic view nor because it is consistent with our web of Christian belief the coherence view. The Christian belief in the resurrection of Christ is true because it is an objective fact of history that corresponds with reality! Indeed, how could the early Christians point to the empty tomb as verifiable evidence of the resurrection unless, in fact, the tomb was empty?

Christian philosopher Douglas Groothuis concludes,.
