What is religious truth?

• A. Truths about humanity's relationship with God and moral principles conveyed through story and faith
• B. Factual scientific cosmology
• C. Political laws of the ancient kingdoms
• D. Historical dates of biblical events

Answer: (A)

Religious truth refers to realities about God and how humans relate to him, along with the moral guidance that shapes life, worship, and salvation, conveyed through faith, revelation, and sacred stories. This focus on relationship with God and guiding principles is expressed through narrative, ritual, and community faith, not through empirical measurement. That’s why describing religious truth as truths about humanity’s relationship with God and moral principles conveyed through story and faith best captures its aim. The other options describe scientific, political, or historical aspects, which aren’t the primary way religious truth is defined or communicated in theological contexts.
