The West since the Enlightenment has wrestled with the basis of truth, gradually evolving from an epistemology of revealed truth toward the reliance upon reason and empiricism. Subsequently, modernity's emphasis on universal knowledge was supplanted by post-modernity's focus on individual validity and subjective reality. What is Truth? That simple refrain, at the heart of Dr Emery Twoey's book, echoes from the past and reverberates in the present. As Pilate queried Jesus Christ, so our culture today beckons scholars who seek to defend the idea of universal truth and critique the voices of subjectivism.
