When compared with these world-views, Biblical theism finds some common ground, but differs dramatically on a few key assumptions. For instance, while Biblical theism agrees with the Modern contention that we are rational creatures and that there are absolute truths, it differs from the Modern view insofar as it holds that true and ultimate knowledge can not be fully known apart from revelation. In contradiction to the Modern view, Biblical theism presupposes the existence of the supernatural. Biblical theism holds that by the power of the Holy Spirit believers are led into truth and gain an intimacy and depth of relationship with God, which cannot be discovered or known through any other means outside of God's own initiative. This relationship develops through Jesus Christ and is revealed by the Holy Spirit.
Biblical theism agrees with the postmodern conviction that everyone is prone to bias.
At the same time it locates the most profound bias of all in our fallen or sinful condition. And, in contrast to the Postmodern view, it holds that there are absolute truths universal in their scope. From a Biblical theist perspective, God is our Creator and because God chose to create, God must have a plan. With a plan there is purpose and with a purpose there lies responsibility and accountability. As Creator, God has an inherent authority, which has been revealed through scripture.
