He firmly takes the stand point of the Bible as the source and foundation for Christology, and thus, critically evaluates that, puffed up with philosophical framework, Christological thinking has been diverged, especially with the emergence of postmodernism.

However, for the writer, "The concept of truth in the Bible is decisive and normative to assess the nature and validity of truth in other disciplines, religions and ideologies."
