In this third and final part of his summer interview with Pat Coyle of Irish Jesuit Communications, theologian Dr Gerry Whelan SJ explains how the classicists hold that truth is objective and unchanging whilst the relativists say it is historically and culturally based. On this basis 'n'ere the twain shall meet.'
He also outlines his vision of how Jesuit philosopher Bernard Lonergan's thinking contributes significantly to the process of resolving this age-old, yet still relevant dilemma.
