1/16/2024 0 Comments Coherence theory theoryNow since we are dealing with opponents who speak of human knowledge almost exclusively, we can perhaps best bring out the distinctiveness of our position by calling it the Correspondence Theory of Truth. Or rather we should say that our ideas must correspond to God’s ideas. If there is to be true coherence in our knowledge there must be correspondence between our ideas of facts and God’s ideas of these facts. On the other hand, when we think of human knowledge, correspondence is of primary importance. There was coherence in God’s plan before there was any space-time fact to which his knowledge might correspond, or which might correspond to his knowledge. For God, coherence is the term that comes first. Now this depends upon the question whether we have God’s knowledge in mind first of all, or whether we begin with human knowledge.
