Here is a sampling of opinion from just the first page of Google hits.
1] Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., teaches philosophy at Denver Seminary. Here is his 'take' on truth: http://www.leaderu.com/theology/groothuis-truth.html
2] A fellow by the name of Matt Slick [interesting name in light of this topic] says in his Christian Apologist approach to the subject, in paragraph one:
"What is truth?" is a very simple question. Of course, answering it isn't so simple. We can offer definitions like "Truth is that which conforms to reality, fact, or actuality." But this basic definition is not complete because its definition is open to interpretation and a wide variety of applications. What is reality? What is fact? What is actuality? How does perception effect truth? We could offer answers for each of these questions, but then we could again ask similar questions of those answers. I am reminded of the paradox of throwing a ball against a wall. It must get half way there, and then half way of the remaining distance, and then half of that distance, and so on. But, an infinite number of halves in this scenario never constitutes a whole. Therefore, it would seem that the ball would never reach the wall if we applied the conceptual truths of halves.

3] A web-page entitled "Seek what is truth" extols the beauty of Yahweh in this manner:
Welcome to Seek What Is Truth where my primary purpose is to bring praise and glory to Yahweh and His son Yahshua. You’ll find articles and studies on important subjects to believers striving to follow our Saviour’s example. My research and focus is on sound interpretation of scripture with emphasis on the original writings wherever possible. Also available are free mp3 downloads of original songs that have relevant messages for today’s believer.
Yahweh “is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (He. 11:6) so spend some time here and I’m sure you’ll be rewarded. Time is running out, “Seek ye Yahweh while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isa 55:6).
Paul stated, “He that is spiritual judgeth all things” (1Co. 2:15) he also wrote, “Prove all things” (1Th. 5:21) and “study to show thyself approved” (2Ti 2:15). So, never, under any circumstances take anything on this site as truth until you have, with your own effort and research, satisfactorily proven it is truth. And please feel free to contact me with questions, comments and advice, which I truly appreciate.

4] Here is found a 20 page essay devoted to the matter: http://homepage.mac.com/ardeshir/ESSAY-WhatisTruth.pdf
Besides these scattered ramblings, there are hundreds of articles, videos, archives, opinions related to the central question that has plagued mankind for centuries. Many of them take great liberty in explaining that 'truth' is imperative to our eternal future, extolling opinion regarding the intention of Pilate's words to that effect to Jesus, or ridiculing those who believe it possible to actually pin down 'truth'.
It appears that one could literally spend a lifetime just reviewing the various opinions that are revealed with a simple search of this subject.
It is amazing how many people seem to believe that 'truth' is just what they say it is - in spite of the struggle of great minds to come to grips with this question. Not to say that one or more of them might not be right about that. Someone surely has it right. Or do they?
Would you care to express your opinion on this matter?
To you; WHAT IS TRUTH?
