A Brief Glossary of Truth Terms
NOTE: The terms Truth (capitalized) and Unity are used to designate the principles taught by the Unity School of Christianity and presented to the public through its literature. The term Truth (capitalized) means that which is the fundamental and ultimate reality of anything. Truth may transcend fact. For instance, to a Unity student a person’s illness is fact, not Truth; he believes that the Truth about the person is wholeness; he believes that wholeness is God’s will for his children and that wholeness is the fundamental and ultimate reality of each person’s being.
