Christian Knowledge (part 1) by Jonathan Edwards


"Doctrine. Every Christian should make a business of endevouring to grow in knowledge in divinity...What is intended by divinity?-...It is a science or doctrine which comprehends all those truths and rules which concern the great business of religion. Divinity is not learned, as other sciences, merely by the improvement of man's natural reason, but is taught by God Himself in a book full of instruction, which He hath given us for that end." ("Jonathan Edwards On Knowing Christ." Banner of Truth (c) 1997, pg. 11-12)
