“There is one truth, and each perspective is merely an angle from which that truth can be viewed.”

“So I think that perspectivalism is an encouragement to the unity of the church. Sometimes our divisions of theology and practice or differences of perspective, of balance, rather than differences over the essentials of faith. So perspectivalism will help us better to appreciate one another, and to appreciate the diversity of God’s work among us.”

I’m convinced that if we discuss perspectives without giving equal treatment to objects, we run the risk of breeding confusion. If we fully appreciate the perspective of another while neglecting the reality that raised the question in the first place, the wheels will come off our epistemological wagon –which is what we’re seeing as common place today (and why Frame writes, “Our finitude does not imply that all our knowledge is erroneous, or that certainty is impossible.”)

I’m really encouraged to see Dr. Frame avoid this and teach both perspectivalism and objectivism side-by-side.
