Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg explores the importance of understanding and valuing the authority of the Bible in his discussion on the knowledge of truth. He emphasizes the need for a balanced approach between anti-intellectualism and hyper-intellectualism within Christian circles and believes that rational thinking and reasoning are important. Gregg provides an overview of two general categories of discipline: apologetics and epistemology, which aim to provide a defense and rational justification for one's beliefs, respectively. Knowing the truth is key to personal freedom, deliverance from the bondage of sin, and is a life-long journey that requires seeking truth wholeheartedly.
