truth-bearing

Fact-based correspondence theories became prominent only in the 20th century; they do not need to assume that the truth-bearing items have subject-predicate structure (indeed, they can be stated without any explicit reference to the structure of truth-bearing items).

Traditional versions of the former typically assumed that the truth-bearing items (usually taken to be judgments) have subject-predicate structure, e.g.: A judgment is true if and only if its predicate corresponds to its object (i.e., the object referred to by the subject term of the judgment).

Theological discourse looks like any other discourse and is, needless to say, governed by the common principles of thought and being, but it is characterized formally by the fact that its arguments and analyses are truth-bearing only for one who accepts Scriptural revelation as true.
