Idealism and the Search for Meaning

Victor Frankl lecture

Confront Truth with Truth

Jesus' mind was in more than one respect the mind of a poet.  Now poets rarely qualify their statements.  The poet sees a truth about life and affirms it simply and boldly.  But few if any truths stand alone; no truth is the whole truth.  And when we move from the realm of insight into the realm of action, we must confront truth with truth and hope to attain to wisdom.

The Interpreter's Bible (Luke/John) p 204; Talking about Ask, Seek, Knock teaching

Note--Not sure I 100% agree that no truth is the whole truth, but I do like the imagery of confronting truth with truth as a way of talking about the difficult passages of scripture.
