ABSTRACT
Language is a public affair. It is the way in which people communicate ideas, aspirations, truths, objectives and insights. The correspondence theory of truth maintains that a statement is true if it corresponds to a state of affairs which is independent of language and of the society in which people live. Someone who holds to a correspondence theory of truth is today called a realist. The coherence theory of truth maintains that a statement is true if it coheres with other true statements. Someone who holds a coherence theory of truth is today called an anti-realist. When people come to apply this to God, they shall see that the realist maintains that the statement, God exists is true because it corresponds or refers to the God who created and sustains the universe. The anti-realist, on the other hand, will claim that God exists is true because the statement coheres or fits in with other statements made by religious believers.
