Recent Seminar: Epistemology and the Bible

Saturday 15 March  |  9:30am-1pm  |  Location: Tyndale House, Cambridge (CB3 9BA)  |  with Dr Esther Lightcap Meek and Dr Dru Johnson

We were delighted to be joined by Dr Esther Lightcap Meek and Dr Dru Johnson as they explored the intersection of epistemology and biblical truth. We discussed profound questions about the nature of knowing and understanding in relation to the Bible and all of reality, such as:
  • How do we know anything at all?
  • How do our default ways of knowing relate to our knowledge of Scripture?
  • Can knowledge be relational? How do covenants help us understand how knowledge works?  
  • What role does love play in our process of knowing?
