Conclusion
Woodfin concludes his discussion of a Christian Theory of Knowledge with the statement, " The basic problem in epistemology, it may be concluded, is perhaps not so much how one knows as it is the ontological question concerning the nature of the reality which is being known.' (Woodfin, With All Your Mind, 36) He sees in the Christian faith what he term as "an epistemologic paradox" or "epistemologic inversion." The paradox or inversion hinges on the central reality that the Christian message focuses not so much upon our desire to know God but rather upon God's desire to be known. The ultimate impact is this inversion is not so much that we know God, but that God knows us.
