Scriptural Resonance: Proverbs 1:7 — “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

Definition: The study of knowledge—how we know what we know. From Greek *epistēmē* (knowledge).

Theological Use: Christian epistemology grounds truth in divine revelation. Scripture, reason, and experience are interpreted through God’s self-disclosure.

Pastoral Note: Faith seeks understanding. Epistemology reminds us that all true knowledge begins with reverence.
