• How does cultural diversity play into this conversation?

Helpful Definitions:

• General Revelation: God makes himself known in creation.
• Special Revelation: God has made himself known in Christ and in Scripture.
• Accommodation: We can know who God is because He accommodates Himself to our ways of knowing.
• Transcendent: God is wholly other, infinite, and set-apart.
• Immanent: God is near and personally accessible.
• Archetypal Knowledge: A kind of knowledge only God can have of Himself. Only God can truly know God.
• Epistemological Grace: It is gracious that you can know God because He has graciously given Himself to you.
