\nThere are, they say, no metaworldview criteria that can prove one worldview superior to others for those criteria are part of worldview. They argue that we cannot let the idol set the terms of the conversation.
\nBut, the following are needed:
\n1. Comprehensive.
\n2. Coherent.
\n3. Sensitive to justice.
\n4. Humility about its claims and open to correction.
\n5. Capable of generating a praxis that puts into action the heart of the worldview.
\nW-K think Paul’s “embodied, relational epistemology of love” is what truth is about.
\nColossians 2:1-4 (it took them long enough to get Colossians on the table) shows this. Community and love lead to knowledge. Truth is embodied in a person — the truth buck stops in the Incarnation finally. Genuine encounter with truth encounters person. The plausibility of Christianity is the community that witnesses to Christ.<\/p>\n
