How Do You Know What You Know? Where Do You Go for Truth?

Theology Unplugged

Michael dons his red shirt to address the issue of how we know what we know. There are multiple sources of theology in every person's life, the differences are in the priorities we give them. In addition to the Bible, Michael talks about culture, also known as tradition; what your parents taught you; reason, or rationality; experience; emotions. What is the Stage of Truth, and how should these various actors in our lives be arranged so we can properly comprehend truth? In the end, not only does Michael survive, completely throwing out the theory that red shirts always die, but he very clearly describes how we arrive at our authority for truth.
