Contents:
Knowing in the creation : voices carry -- Knowing in the Exodus : pharaonic and Israelite -- Knowing in the gospels : disciples as dolts -- Knowing through ritual : rite to know -- Biblical and scientific knowing : simpatico enterprises -- Practical implications of biblical knowing : the discerning church
Subject: Scripture's Knowing is a guide to the emerging field of philosophical study of Scripture, specifically about knowing. Assuming that the Scriptures speak verbosely and persistently about knowing, what do the biblical authors have to say? How do they conceptualize ideas like truth and knowledge? Most importantly, how do we come to confidently know anything at all? Scripture's Knowing follows the discourse on knowledge through key biblical texts and shows the similarity of biblical knowing with the scientific enterprise. The findings are linked to the role of ritual in knowing and implications for theologians and churches today.
