Truth and Interpretation

So I’d be a lousy “phone-a-friend lifeline.” I couldn’t give you a good final answer to the question, “What is truth?” Instead, please accept these nice consolation prizes in the form of further questions to keep in mind while reading the next two chapters in which Jorge Gracia and Cynthia Freeland focus attention on the nature of interpretation and Gibson’s take on the two Marys. Is Gibson’s film a true interpretation? Were Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene caring, supportive, nurturers? Or were they more active in the ministry of Jesus? Was Pilate such a genial man, essentially coerced by Jewish authorities? Was Claudia so sympathetic? Does Gibson give us the truth about Jesus? Was he the Truth? Did he ever really say, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life”? Are the Gospels themselves interpretations of earlier sources?

Don’t like these questions? Then don’t read any more. “You can’t handle the truth!”
