Epistemology and Biblical TheologyFrom the Pentateuch to Mark?s Gospel\nAuthor(s): u Johnson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Pickering & Chatto (Publishers) Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781848935723, 978-1848935723\nSynopsis\nEpistemology and Biblical Theology pursues a coherent theory of knowledge as described across the Pentateuch and Mark's Gospel. As a work from the emerging field of philosophical criticism, this volume explores in each biblical text both narrative and paraenesis to assess what theory of knowledge might be presumed or advocated and the coherence of that structure across texts.\n\nIn the Pentateuch and Mark, primacy is placed on heeding an authenticated and authoritative prophet, and then enacting the guidance given in order to see what is being shownin order to know. Erroneous knowing follows the same boundaries: failure to attend to the proper authoritative voice or failure to enact guidance creates mistaken understanding. .
