Abstract
It is well known that the Christian religion offers an answer to the age-old question, “What is truth?" Perhaps it is not so well known that the answer which it gives does not have to be verbalized in such a way that "truth seems to be nothing more than an organized assemblage of highly abstract “concepts.” St. John managed to speak of the ultimate Truth of which Christianity speaks in such a manner that it is seen to be, as in fact it is, concrete, historical, and even personal, when he identified Truth with Jesus. Thus he also showed that this Truth is absolute, and not relative. Jesus is the Truth for all time, for all persons who know what Truth is.
