Is It True That There Is No Truth? The Veritative Argument for Christianity in Joseph Ratzinger’s Thought

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to formulate a veritative argument (an argument from the truth) for Christianity on the basis of Joseph Ratzinger’s thought. He was certain that Christianity is true and in touch with the ultimate Truth. The source material is Ratzinger’s entire intellectual output. The analysis aimed first at understanding his concept of truth, and then at extracting the most important premises in his argumentation. The conclusion indicates the most original content in Ratzinger’s veritative argument which may be useful for fundamental theology.

Keywords:

Joseph Ratzinger, truth, Christianity, relativism, argument (argumentation), fundamental theology
