Colson stresses the centrality of absolute truth found in Christ, who is the truth, the logos, ultimate reality in opposition to postmodernism and our society's fear of truth claims.  Arguing that without taking truth seriously it is impossible to take God seriously, Colson critiques the Emerging Church's departure from revealed propositional truth.  Truth is knowable because God is and has spoken in revelation, but we can also know truth through nature, through the moral order written on our hearts, and the rationality of Christian truth when compared with all other systems.
