Woodfin adds that, when it comes to the issue of a Christian theory of knowledge, there is an additional unique dimension to "knowing that we know." He terms this as "eschatological verification." For Woodfin, epistemology has three dimensions. First epistemology possesses a historical verification dimension. By this Woodfin intends that we examine the past in order to "know." In addition, Woodfin argues that there is an existential verification in which we address the present impact of a truth upon on our life. But finally, Woodfin argues that there is a future dimension to the verification of knowledge which he terms "eschatological verification" by which he intends that we can never really "know" so to speak until what we believe is verified or confirmed by the events which will unfold in the future. In Christian verbiage, the consummation of the Kingdom of God will as the interpretive key to the validity of Christian belief.
