The Only Unquestionable Final Truth

I am finishing up a quick lunch break in the office while reading Dr. Donald Haynes article, entitled "Why I am not a fundamentalist" in the United Methodist Reporter. In the article, Haynes talks about his journey from Christian fundamentalism to his current state of evangelicalism. In the article he relates a letter written to him from Dr. E.J. Carnell, the first president of Fuller Theological Seminary. Here is, what I believe to be a beautiful quote from that letter, I plan on thinking on it today...
"Fundamentalists are prone to speak of 'final truth,; but the only unquestionably final truth is, 'Love your neigbhor as yourself.'" (Emphasis obviously mine.)
Beautiful, no?
