Studying Theology

How do we know anything about God??



The Wesleyan quadrilateral contains 4 parts - Reason, Experience, Tradiotion and Scripture. These are 4 sources of knowledge of God.



Now reason is a good thing because God did create us to think and reason but if we base our knowledge of God on reason then there can be no consensus because everybody has different approaches.



If we base our knowledge of God on experience then there's always the problem of interpretation.



Tradition is good but what if tradition conflicts with scripture which is the word of God?



Scripture is the word of God... God actually speaks to us and it's written down in the bible!!
