Description: One Truth: Liberating – Nourishing – Unifying by Henry Hon is the second book in a trilogy that expands upon the author's first work, ONE, focusing on the profound implications of Jesus Christ's prayer for the oneness of His followers in John 17.
The book defines "Truth" as the singular, absolute reality found in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is the Word of God manifested in the flesh. Hon explores how this sanctifying truth serves three vital functions: liberating believers from the bondage of religious tradition and fear, nourishing them with spiritual food for growth, and unifying diverse people into the One Body of Christ.
Key themes include:
The Three Gifts: An examination of the three gifts Jesus gave to achieve oneness—eternal life, the word of truth, and divine glory.
The Completion Gospel: A presentation of the "full" gospel found in the book of Romans, which combines the gospel of grace for individual salvation with the gospel of peace for the reconciliation of divided believers.
Doctrine vs. Truth: A critical distinction between Didache (the essential, time-honored teaching of Christ that unites) and Didaskalia (applied teachings and practices that often cause sectarian division).
God’s Economy: An exploration of Oikonomia, or God’s plan to dispense His unsearchable riches into His household to build up His ekklesia.
Ultimately, One Truth serves as a manual for believers seeking to move beyond denominational factions to experience the practical reality of Body Life and fulfill God’s eternal purpose.
