Actually, I first encountered the phrase about a year ago in Maxwell's book "Not My Will, but Thine" (which seems to be very much still in print). He uses it throughout his writings- a more accurate description of what he means by it is the following (found at the same site further down the page; I missed it the first time around):

There is a hierarchy of truth atop which are the great ordering realities: the reality of Deity, the reality of immortality, and the reality of an eternal ecology that rests upon God's commandments. When Jesus of Nazareth spoke of how the truth can make us free, He was not speaking of those facts contained in today's principles of accounting class or of data concerning crop yields, but of these great emancipating truths, which are everlasting and not ephemeral. — Neal A. Maxwell, "We Will Prove Them Herewith", p.86

This isn’t right.

I don't want to argue with you about this- I will, however, make one note. I wish I knew the surrounding text- it might provide some clues as to what exactly Maxwell is talking about- but it seems that he is talking about the kind of truth that one understands, not the kind of truth that makes itself manifest (i.e. Christ). There is a difference between knowing the truth and seeing a manifestation thereof. I may be totally wrong, but that's what my thoughts on the subject are.

No; I'll respond to his post directly.
