Abstract

Undoubtedly, modern epistemology has had a profound impact on the way Christians view their core beliefs (Kirk, 2007, p. 1). After the triumph of rationalism and empiricism in the 17th century, Christian theology was reduced to mere speculation about opinions and values. The "fact-value," "objective-subjective" dichotomy was born, and physical-mathematical science was associated with the discovery of the "truths of the universe," while religious sciences, philosophy, and the humanities were confined to the realm of values—"important, debatable, and meaningful" (Putnam, 1994)—but never "true."
