Christianity draws evenly from all four traditional ways of knowing-reason, personal experience, authority, and history, giving it firm footing in the marketplace of ideas. Today people want to know if a worldview squares with science.
Scripture is consistent with the record of nature.
Personal Experience Christianity at its heart is a personal relationship with Jesus. Authority and History Christianity's appeal to authority is closely linked to its appeal to history. The Bible is not the work of one person in one lifetime but encompasses 1,500 years and nearly forty authors. The Bible's spiritual truths are woven together with earthly events, and history is frequently called on to supply evidences of God's divine intervention. Christianity is grounded in a verifiable historical record.
