This, too, is relational language, person to person. What emerges here is the revolutionary idea that truth is not propositional, but relational . Since the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, theologians and the church have been seduced into thinking that theological truth is propositional. Jesus is the Son of God. But, I think we made a wrong turn, a major detour.
Truth is relational.
Because if you want to know the truth, God's truth, then the right question is who and not what. And if you want to know the truth, God's truth, then listen to him. Which is what God said to Peter, James and John at the Transfiguration of Jesus, when he turned dazzling white and they saw the glory of God pulsating through him. Jesus is the one who, through the truth of his being, we experience freedom. He is the truth.
