The Reformed Theological Tradition makes the beginning point of its
theology the knowledge of God, and the goal and meaning of life,
the glory of God. John Calvin begins his Institutes of the
Christian Religion with chapters about the knowledge of God. The
Westminster Confession of Faith dedicates its first chapter to how
God is known. However, in 21st century America the words 'knowing
God' have come to mean relying on an inner feeling or having a
personal preference. Yet it was not that long ago that Charles
Hodge, now largely forgotten outside of specialized academic
circles, was a national figure known for his theological work on
the knowledge of God. This book focuses on the specifics of his
intellectual lineage and his own arguments to show how God can be
known. There are tensions that arise and must be addressed between
claims about the authority of inner feelings on the one hand, and
the ability for actual knowledge of God on the other. We today have
inherited the residue from those tensions and a better
understanding of them will help us in our thinking about knowing
God.
