Unravelling the Four Epistemic Methods of Experiencing God: Insights and Implications

Abstract

This epistemological study probes into the yearning of every believer of various creeds globally and mankind for centuries have been searching for esoteric means to reach the echelon of knowledge of deities and supernatural beings. This paper scripturally and theologically examines Christian theology and how believers in Christ Jesus can fully understand the Godhead. This study further explains the four epistemic routes: experiential, doctrinal, biblical and spiritual—hence experiencing God's presence, counsel and dealings that unite believers with their living God. This study plan employs analytical discourse that is enshrined in biblical epistemology for progressive spiritual formation and communion with the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, various definitions of terms and extensive insights are given, and the implications of knowing God and the benefits of experiencing God are all captured in this paper.
