Pilate asked an important and pertinent question of Jesus regarding truth. A simple answer to his question would be ‘a statement is true only if it says what is the case.’ What that means, however, is another matter. By exploring options, I hope to elucidate some common disagreements among believers and non-believers, as well as squabbles between different religious positions. While most attention will be given to examples within Christianity, similar sorts of disagreements also occur in other religions. It is hoped that exploring such options will also help contribute to improved dialogue among the various contenders.

回答彼拉多：解释宗教真理的选项

彼拉多就真理向耶稣提出了一个重要而中肯的问题。对他的问题的一个简单回答是“一个陈述只有在陈述事实时才是正确的”。然而，这意味着什么是另一回事。我希望通过探索选项，阐明信奉者与非信奉者之间的一些常见分歧，以及不同宗教立场之间的争吵。虽然大部分注意力都集中在基督教内部的例子上，但类似的分歧也发生在其他宗教中。希望探索此类选项也有助于改善各竞争者之间的对话。
