Description

This course explores the two types of knowledge in Orthodox Christianity: knowledge of the mind and knowledge of the heart. The course will discuss the essence of Orthodox Christian knowledge through true encounter, and the expression of such experience n the diverse human epistemological and philosophical frames of mind. The course will also highlight the importance of establishing a priority for using a specific order of epistemologicla questions to accurately express the encounter. The ocurse will then highlight Orthodox methodologies and their foundationa dependence on a lifestyle of a 'change of mind' and the requirement of this change for a true Orthodox conversion, not just in form but also in essence.
