| Abstract |
Spiritual formation currently lacks a robust epistemology. Christian theology
and philosophy often spend more time devoted to an epistemology of propositions
rather than an epistemology of knowing persons. This paper is an attempt to
move toward a more robust account of knowing persons in general and God in particular.
After working through various aspects of the nature of this type of knowledge
this theory is applied to specific issues germane to spiritual formation, such as the
justification of understanding spiritual growth on an integrative and holistic (heart
and mind) model, the reality of hearing God’s voice, and knowing his activity, as
well as how such a theory should change the shape of sermons, evangelism, and
apologetics.
