Jesus Christ is the Biblical/Christian doctrine of the truth (John 1:14). The truth is knowable and powerful (John 8:32). The truth does not contradict itself (Luke 11:23). Though we are unable to know all truth, it is none-the-less open that we can know some of it without violating it (1 Corinthians 13:12). This study of truth can go deep into the Bible. Truth is the perception of reality as God sees it (paraphrase: R.C. Sproul).

What then is the Christian (Biblical?) doctrine of the nature of truth?

I'd like to hear why Kunkle aligns himself at all with the emergent church. I think it has already defined itself as unorthodox and even heretical in some of these major doctrines.

I don't know of any papers that were favorable to the movement, but Brett's was the only one I was able to attend. In order to be a member of ETS, one has to affirm inerrancy. Since most of the people who might offer a favorable paper don't affirm inerrancy, it's very unlikely there would be such a paper.

I recognize you're trying to summarize. (If you can get the link, i'd be curious to read it). What were some of the things that he affirmed about the emergent church? Were there any papers submitted that looked more favorably on the movement?
