On Truthfulness and the Nature of Truth in an Ecclesiological Perspective: In Conversation with David Gushee’s Introducing Christian Ethics

Abstract

This article comprises a sustained critical engagement with David Gushee’s Introducing Christian Ethics: Core Convictions for Christians Today. In particular, attention is paid to Gushee’s treatment of truth and truthfulness as core elements of Christian living. This is brought into connection with Baptist ecclesiology, arguing for a vision of the church as a community of truth.
