My hope here is to enable intellectually serious people, Christians or not, to understand the indispensable role of knowledge in faith and life. I also want to make it clear that there is a body of uniquely Christian knowledge, one that is available to all who would appropriately seek it and receive it—again, whether Christians or not. Like all knowledge of any complexity and depth, that body of knowledge does not jump down one's throat, and no one can force it upon another. It has to be welcomed to be possessed. And because, in this case, it is essentially a knowledge of persons, it has the special characteristics and makes the special demands upon the knower peculiar to that kind of knowledge. But it is available, and available as knowledge, to those of normal human abilities who seek it in ways suited to its subject matter. When understood and accepted as knowledge, it is objectively testable—again, in ways suitable to its subject matter—and it lays a foundation for action and character that is unequaled for human good.
