What does it mean to speak the truth and when does a person tell a lie? The Augustinian as well as post-Augustinian views are enumerated and some of the main truth theories evaluated. In conclusion the author tries to make a final assessment and to open new ways of thinking the truth. Truth is a multidimensional category which should never be over-simplified.AfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaLiesAugustine, Saint, Bishop of Hippo -- Contributions in theologyTruth -- Religious aspects -- ChristianityTruthfulness and falsehood -- Religious aspects -- ChristianityArticle
