According to a well-known Bible verse, Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life."
So what is truth?
For a Christian, that answer is easy. Jesus is the truth. But what about the rest of us?
This is where examination of the source comes in. As a Muslim, do I believe any part of the Bible? Can I pick and choose? What are my criterion? How do I reconcile this verse with what I believe to be true?
And is truth objective? Is there a universal truth which will ultimately be recognized by all? Or is truth subjective, as many would contend? Does your truth differ from my truth because of our individual experiences?
So many more questions than answers. Defining truth is a very difficult undetaking.
