I have been reading your paper on Truth in the Gospel of John and have found some new and worthwhile leads in my study of the subject.
I would very much like to know what you think of my thoughts at my web site, www.Truth-defined.com.
Thank you

Thanks for sharing your link, Berj.
Your thinking over at truth-defined.com is well-developed and detailed, so I will just offer a couple of general thoughts. (As a side note, it might be very productive if you could publish your thoughts on a blog so that people could interact with and comment on some of the specifics of your arguments.)
First, I'm confused as to how you can get away with doing these two things, simultaneously: Holding a propositional view of truth, but only believing that one proposition is actually true. For example, how do you substantiate the proposition: "There is only one true proposition"? You say that "Jesus Christ is God" is the only true proposition, but it seems as though there are several other propositions which must also be true if we are even to make that one statement: We must define who Jesus is/was, what a "Christ" is, and who "God" is. This will require, necessarily, that we invoke propositions, but when we start to assign propositions to these terms it seems to me necessary that we also assign a truth value. If we do not assign a truth value to these things and say that they are "nTnF" (neither True nor False) then you are left with a true proposition that is supported (at least definitionally) by statements that are not true. This to me would present a problem. If nothing else it simply sounds very odd.
Second...I think you are still continuing on the same project that has been underway for as long as Augustine: Looking for the essence/nature of truth. Your project more than the others is looking to isolate the "one thing" that truth is. Where my project differs significantly from yours is that I question whether truth has an "essence" or can be defined in terms of a nature. Your answer is yes - and so much so that you believe only one proposition is true. We could not differ more radically in this regard because my development has been to see truth as polymorphous: Truth is seen in various forms depending upon which aspect of reality/experience one is speaking to and examining.
My basis for this development has been the study of the Gospel of John and the thought of Anthony Thiselton. You can access a summary of my thoughts on various links on this blog, and I would be interested in what you think of some of the specific details of my development. However, for the purposes of commenting on your site I will simply note that I find in the Gospel of John that the term aletheia is used in such a diverse way that it seems impossible to determine what the essence/nature of truth is according to John. What binds truth together, it seems, is simply that it dominates all aspects of reality and that it touches a person on all levels.
Thanks again for the link, and I would love to see your thoughts take shape in a blog.
