Interesting, somewhat analogous to the Roman Catholic notion of Sacred Tradition or Apostolic Succession it sounds. Never heard that particular phrase, which is why I asked.

But it seems Maxel meant something altogether different by those words. And if he coined the phrase, then I suppose it's up to him to define it any way he pleases. (Although I think your attempt at a definition made more sense in light of the original context.)

I would question his idea that truths can be stack-ranked or made hierarchical. Jesus is the Truth, the full revelation of God. But after that, it seems like it might turn into an exercise of which truth was truthier (or truthiest). A good topic for another thread, no doubt.


Thanks rameumptom,
