| dc.description.abstract | <p> The purpose of the following is to construct a theological epistemology from analytic religious epistemology and Christian theology. Paul K. Moser's religious epistemology provides an evidentialist account of volitional epistemology centered in agapē. Philippians 2:5-11 and its biblical-theological context grounds the historic and eschatological life of Jesus as the basis and means to participate in agapē. Moser's epistemological framework is reconstructed with the master story to provide a setting for Kingdom practices and imaginary. I argue that knowing the Triune God through agapē centers Kingdom participation. Christians imitate the master story in Philippians 2:5-11 to cultivate agapē through Kingdom participation.</p> | en_US |
