Are all Religions True? Is all Truth Exclusive?
by Dr. Norman Geisler

This is an informative talk by Dr. Norman Geisler given at Tri-Cities Baptist Church in Tennessee on
August 10, 2010 discussing the nature of truth itself.  (Epistemology).  

Six Blind Men Parable - Is this True?

Discussion on pluralism - All religious positions have a portion of truth as told in the parable of 6 blind Hindu men who came upon an elephant and had to define it by touch.   One touched the ear and said it was a fan.  The next touched the side of the elephant and said it's a wall.  Another touched the tail and said it's a rope.  The 4th touched a leg and said it was a tree.  The 5th touched a tusk and said it's a spear.  The last touched the trunk and said it was a snake.  Six people touched the same elephant and all said it was something different.  We're told that religion is the same thing, each has a portion of truth, but none has the whole truth.
