Henry dodwell how do we know Christianity is true?

Well sorry I been busy but here I am. Well lets get started!


Henry thought was quite different from the prevailing dominant theological rationalism of John locke. He didn't think faith and reason could work together. That why would God would intend on having something as human reason to bring us to faith. That it is the job of the Holy spirit to do that right? He argued that we know Christianity is true on the basis of authority. Again we have heard this already. But he didn't base his authority on scripture but an the inner working faith of the Holy spirit. The Holy spirit witnesses that Christianity is true and therefore on the basis of the authority of the Holy spirit which comes from God who is truthful Christianity must be true. Well that is all he argued.  Next time we will discuss contemporary thinkers.
