What is truth?

I get emails from Preaching Now, an evangelical group. There was a piece about "truth and grace". Now, mostly I read, hear, speak about the polarity between law and grace. From the writing, it was clear the writer meant law when he wrote truth. My immediate reaction was, "but isn't grace truth, too?"

So, have the conservatives ditched the word "law" and embraced "truth" as its alternative?

Intriguing. I have noticed an increase in an aggrressive use of the word "truth" in a way that implies that certain ambiguities are "facts."
