Sources and Divisions of Theology Sources (6 of 9 notes)

Part One
INTRODUCTION: 4 SOURCES AND DIVISIONS OF THEOLOGY SOURCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

3. SCIENCE:

By science is meant, not only that knowledge which has come through the various science disciplines, but all knowledge which we individually gain through personal experiences. Tradition may be thought of as second-hand knowledge; experience as first-hand knowledge. A student may learn from his text-book that water is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. This is accurate knowledge, although second-hand. But when he goes into the laboratory and decomposes water by electrolysis and measures and identifies the resultant gases this knowledge becomes first-hand and personal. Such knowledge carries with it the strongest assurance of truth.
