Review the three tests for truth (correspondence, coherence, pragmatic) in Section 4.1 as well as Section 4.2 in A Christian Philosophical Journey (CPJ).
In the discussion forum below: answer these questions (a-c) following the format described in step three:
What is the importance of the 3 bases for Christian authority? John Wesley also included one’s personal encounter with God under the label "experience" as a fourth category for Christian authority (theology). You may also expand your treatment to include this one if you wish, which becomes clearer after reading Section 4.3.
What is the center of your sense of truth—your hermeneutic? Choose which of the three positions in 4.2 that best reflects your present approach to the truth of scripture. Explain why you default to this hermeneutic. Would you like to change?
