Synopsis

How do we know God?

This longstanding question has been addressed by Christian theologians throughout the church's history. Some, such as Thomas Aquinas, have argued for the role of natural revelation. Others, including Karl Barth, have emphasized the importance of God's revelation in Jesus Christ and Scripture. Recent theological reflection has also explored the relationship between metaphysical and biblical approaches to the doctrine of God.

In this volume in the Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series, Steven J. Duby refuses to forgo either natural revelation or the particularities of Scripture in casting his own vision for answering the age-old question of how we might know God.

Duby contributes to the enrichment of Christian discourse about God in se by providing a scriptural account of the knowledge of God and by facing the challenge of integrating natural theology, Christology and the proper use of metaphysics in the doctrine of God. In addition to reasoning from Holy Scripture, Duby incorporates insights from the catholic theological tradition, including patristic and medieval authors and also the Reformed orthodox.
