Many theologians and Christian philosophers have given considerable attention to the theory of knowledge in recent years. However, the rich resources of the biblical literature on questions of knowledge, especially the knowledge of God, have hardly begun to bemined because biblical scholars have rarely posed such questions to the texts.

In this volume Catholic and Protestant biblical scholars reflect on what different parts of the Bible may have to contribute to our understanding of knowledge in general, and the knowledge of God in particular. Chapters on Deuteronomy, the Psalms, the Prophets, Wisdom literature Luke-Acts, Johannine literature and Paul's letteres reveal something of the Bible's diverse and nuanced approach to the issues.
