The Proportions of Truth

A short theological essay argues that truth must be presented in proper proportion: exaggerating one attribute or doctrine produces distortion, while balanced presentation preserves the harmony of divine revelation. Drawing analogies from painting, trees, music, and the spectrum of light, the author maintains that Scripture and the Christian scheme of salvation—though written by diverse hands—form an integrated, harmonious whole. He urges ministers and readers to declare the whole counsel of God, attending not only to how often doctrines appear but to the urgency and place Scripture assigns them, so as to avoid partial or misleading emphasis.
