According to Pseudo-Clement, truth is revealed only by the True Prophet, because he alone possesses full knowledge of it. Anyone can recognise the True Prophet, provided that they are animated by a genuine desire to know the truth and that they meet a genuine witness. The witness does not prove the truth of the doctrine that he teaches, but he puts the hearers in the presence of the One from whom he has himself received the truth. Truth – though rationally arguable – is not conceptual knowledge, but evidence derived from the encounter, mediated by authentic witnesses, between the seeker and the Prophet.
