How Can We Know If Our Beliefs Are Justified? (Theologian John Frame's Theory)
By Joel Settecase
How can we know if we, as subjects, are justified in holding a belief—if we have the ethical right or obligation to believe it?
How do we know whether we “know” something? This is certainly an important question to ask ourselves before beginning to engage in apologetics!
John Frame’s triperspectival view provides some questions to help us determine the answer:
Does the belief accord with the laws of thought and with Scripture?
Does it meet the evidence?
Does it meet our needs, as a subject, as defined by Scripture?
I flesh out Frame’s theology and ideas in my paper, The Doctrine Shapes the Defense, which is now available as a book on Amazon.
