Mere cognition is not relationship. Likewise, in contrast to Aquinas, Willimon recognizes that our intellect is marred by our sin, just as is the rest of who we are. Only by the gracious working of the Holy Spirit in our heart can we receive Christ. But Willimon presses his points too far. I really do not believe that there are varieties to truth.
Truth is simply accurate information about something that exists.
All other definitions mislead by centering in one way or another on humanity's perceptions, experiences, thoughts, or acts of will. False meanings of truth include focusing on arrogant or despairing human subjectivity, and slicing truth into various epistomological compartments such as spiritual and religious truth, artistic and mythic truth, and scientific and rational truth. I am reminded of the story of a friendly cat that one warm day wandered into a first grade classroom. Things went smoothly until the children began to wonder about the cat's gender. Not wishing to get into that subject, the teacher tried to move the attention of the class to other things, but little Johnny was adamant that he knew how to tell whether it was a boy cat or a girl cat.
