While we may not be professional philosophers, as theologian John Polkinghorne exhorts,\u00a0 \u201cThese matters [of epistemology] are too important to be left to the philosophers.\u201d There are essentially three widely held views of what constitutes knowledge:<\/p><ul><li>Subjectivism\u2014maintains that meaning is imposed by an individual\u2019s mind without contribution from the object. Post-modernism is an example of such a position asserting that what is perceived is what is real without reference to a \u201cReality;\u201d everything is narrative, and my narrative is as valid as yours, both of which were shaped by our respective personal history.<\/li><li>Constructivism\u2014also holds that there is not an objective truth to be discovered, but rather meaning is constructed in our consciousness from the engagement of our minds with the world. As a result, there is no actual Truth and the only truth that is relevant is that which \u201cfits\u201d my expectation.<\/li><li>Objectivism\u2014asserts that a meaningful reality exists independently of perception and consciousness. There is an ultimate Reality and such a thing as \u201cTruth.\u201d\u00a0 Positivism and Critical Realism belong to this category and claim that by observation, logic and empirical testing truth can be deduced from experience.<\/li><\/ul><p>Can these positions all be valid even if they are contradictory? Clearly, someone holding a Subjectivist or Constructivist view will not find compelling an argument based on the existence of the \u201cTruth\u201d of the Bible.\u00a0 While it is true that faith is an inward persuasion that is based on a narrative\u2014the story of our life and those of other witnesses\u2014there is physical evidence of the truth claims of scripture, as well.\u00a0 And while it is true that the only relevant persuasions are those a person constructs within his mind, there are historical events (for example the resurrection of Christ) that challenge those presuppositions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f98bf4d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f98bf4d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d928d0f\" data-id=\"d928d0f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5fed1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c5fed1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Valid Question That is More Than Preference<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c5b6da4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c5b6da4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b34afbf\" data-id=\"b34afbf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87a3f5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"87a3f5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The world views we hold are important to our scholarship as well as to our ethics and our inner life.\u00a0 We contend that the assumptions underlying the truth-claims of the gospel are worthy topics of discussion and can be informed by scholarship.\u00a0 Popular works like Tim Keller\u2019s The Reason for God (see Keller&#8217;s intro below) and Alister McGrath\u2019s work, Surprised by Meaning, are very helpful and make a case for a warranted faith that is based on evidence.\u00a0<\/p><p>Philosophical discussions are absolutely relevant to scholars in the academy but may appear tangential to the lives of non-academics.
