In Christianity truth is not a philosophical concept nor is it a
theory, a teaching, or a system, but rather, it is the living
theanthropic hypostasis – the historical Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
Before Christ men could only conjecture about the Truth since they
did not possess it. With Christ as the incarnate divine Logos the
eternally complete divine Truth enters into the world. For this
reason the Gospel says: “Truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).

Here the notion is that somehow the existence of Jesus creates the Truth. This does not seem to follow, since there appears to have been truth before Jesus was born–perhaps Mankind\’s ability to recognize that truth did not exist–perhaps that truth was not valid. I am not sure what the exact point is here & I will spend time thinking about it.

I forgot to mention that I am not sure how this guy is a desert father at all–this quote seems much to preachy for the work of an enlightened man–it is absolute, debatable, etc. Most DF quotes are much more down to earth and mystical at the same time.
