Epistemology is the study of the theory of knowledge. What is knowledge about God, reality and self? This project is an exercise in applied epistemology. Worldviews provide the environment for thinking that leads to a better understanding of God and reality. Worldview thinking may also provide the means for the person to acquire knowledge, justified true beliefs about God and reality. The former seeks understanding and uses reason and thinking to achieve comprehension. The latter seeks knowledge, justified true belief about what can be known. The exercise's focus is on understanding or comprehension; knowledge or justified true beliefs, are a secondary concern that falls more properly into the metaphysics. Worldviews provide the environment for rational thought to achieve comprehension (understanding) about God, self, and reality. The result constitutes an interpretation that can be apprehended or believed as justified true belief based on the authority of the Scriptures as the fountain of truth. This project is limited to comprehension; apprehension is left as a project for the reader. The related subjects of truth or theories of truth, including meaning, and misology may be found in the remaining essays. Readers are encouraged to seek out an approach to the order of reading these essays that seems the most appropriate. The reader may then draw whatever conclusions logically follow from the application of Ronald Nash's rules for testing worldviews. Epistemology applied in this manner allows the reader to examine his or her own worldview and to contrast or compare it to Scripturalism, if so led. A Glossary of Terms and an Index follow. Appendices provide the reader with additional material. Appendix A: What is the Gospel? Appendix B: What is Logic? Appendix C: Credo. Author Books and About the Author conclude the volume.
