The Bible encourages us to employ every sense we have in the worship and adoration of the God who breathed into our nostrils life and the sweetness of grace.
CODY GLEN BARNHART: To know God, we must learn—and to learn, we must have a grasp of language, including speech, syllables, and grammar.
JOHN R. GILHOOLY: The chief organizing idea of Thomas's question 13 is an epistemological doctrine that Aquinas has from Boethius (and Aristotle): everything is known according to the power of the knower.
MATTHEW Y. EMERSON AND R. LUCAS STAMPS: We encourage the ongoing affirmation, confession, and catechetical use of the three ecumenical creeds and the scriptural insights of the seven ecumenical councils. We believe these confessional documents express well what Thomas Oden called the “consensual tradition”—the deposit of faith taught in Holy Scripture and received by the church throughout space and time.
