  be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
  Christ.

Postmodern Truth

• Truth is relative, not fixed or absolute
  subjective, not objective.
• Truth is not discovered ? but constructed.
• One can never know something without question.
• All perceived truths are open to
  re-interpretation.
• What is true for one person may not be true for
  another.

5
Postmodern Truth

• Individuals and cultures construct truths that
  work for them.
• One truth is as valid as another.
• Truth can be revised without contradiction.
• In postmodernism spin is everything. Truth is
  not knowable, at least not absolutely knowable.
