Beyond Foundationalism, ch. 2

This chapter takes time to explore different approaches to epistemology, which I appreciated very much. We are left with a 'teepee truth' where we can have comprehensive knowledge by taking into account the greater story as experienced by communities gone before and the common human experience that should be assumed in it. We need both the subjective and the objective to have knowledge. Our theology, then, is most properly understood in a relationship with Jesus Christ (see Proper Confidence by Newbigin), which gives us both. This chapter was rich. I hope we will be reading the whole book for our future sections.
