foundational to Christianity. There are historically dated
events and theological interpretations of those events that
form the foundation for Christian understanding. They are
documentable and logical. Christianity is not just a
subjective, mystical experiencing of supernatural,
metaphysical being with existential significance. Such is
the false accusation of secular epistemological extremists.
The opposing extreme is to camp with the religious
epistemologists who view Christianity as but an historical
society for the remembrance of Jesus' birth, life, death and
resurrection, or as but a theological society for the
interpretation of those events. To present Christianity with
an exclusively epistemological emphasis is equally
extremist as presenting it as exclusively existential
experientialism. Avoiding the extremes, we want to
understand the ontological reality of Christianity, how the
very Being of God, His life, His character is present in the
Christian by the indwelling spiritual presence of the Spirit
of Christ, and how He desires to live out His life and
express His character in our behavior.
