What Is Truth?
“Truth about the world is always concrete because reality is concrete. Only within formal logical systems does truth become tautological. Outside logic and mathematics, truth is not self-contained. It must collide with reality.” This definition of truth places the Abrahamic traditions — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — into a profound epistemological crisis.

Revelation does not emerge from open investigation into reality. It emerges from sacred assertion. The conclusion precedes the inquiry. .
