Biblical Epistimology

From Dan McCartney and Charles Clayton's book, Let the Reader Understand - A guide to interpreting and applying the Bible:

It must be acknowledged that human knowledge is always relative to the knower, and is always based on that human being's experience and presuppositions, but there is an important distinction between knowing an absolute truth and knowing a truth absolutely. Humans can know an absolute, transcendent truth if that truth is known by an absolute Person whose knowledge does not depend on experience, and if that absolute Person shares his knowledge with humans. It is a conviction or basic assumption of the biblical writers that such a Person does indeed exist, and that he has communicated truth in Scripture. Scripture writers assume that God is there, and that he has spoken. Thus, we may know absolute truth, albeit not absolutely; we may know it truly, even though only partially and imperfectly. The atheist or agnostic may cry "presupposition" at us, but we may point out that they are presupposing that God has NOT spoken. (page 14-15)
