Book Reviews of Whatever Happened to Truth?
Book Review: A diagnosis of Truth
Summary: 4 Stars
The brief analysis by Albert Mohler is enough to buy this book. His assessment of "post-conservative evangelicals" who buy into post-modern notions is very pointed. He defends the late-Dr. Carl Henry, who is the subject of the religious academic barbs by those who would throw the old ways out (primarily because of his committment to inneracy and a form of foundationalism, which many misstate as mere Enlightenment foundationalism). Mohler criticizes Stanley Grenz, Clark Pinnock and others who have embraced newer methods of epistemology and have been found wanting.
Mohler quotes Henry's definition of theology, "Divine revelation is the source of all truth, the truth of Christianity included. Reason is the instrument for recognizing. Scripture is its verifying principle. Logical consistency is a negative test for truth, and coherence a subordinate test. The task of Christian theology is to exhibit the content of divine revelation as an orderly whole" (p. 71).
J.P Moreland critiques the post-moderns for their misunderstanding of "objectivity" and their philosophical confusion.
Unfortunately, Kevin Vanhoozer starts out by making a brief narrative on Truth through interpretations, but ends up joining the critiquing camp against Henry and jumps about. His bottom line is that of an Evangelical gone neo-Barthian. This camp tends to always use orthodox language, but the meaning behind the words are obfuscated and the listener is left to chasing notions.
Vanhoozer does make one good point that Evangelicals should return to the great Protestant tradition where Scripture is the supreme rule for life and thought.
