Two Kinds of Truth
Thus everywhere in scripture the issue is joined between these two kinds of truth. One truth is top-down. It originates in and serves the aims of established power. It tends to be quantifiable, provides certitude and security, and grows always more abstract. The alternative truth embodied in and performed by Moses, Elijah, Elisha, and Jesus is bottom-up.
