Interview with author and philosopher Esther Lightcap Meek and key players in the unfolding story of Meek’s Longing to Know (Brazos, 2003), in honor of the book's twentieth anniversary. This conversation: Dru Johnson, a student in my “Covenant Epistemology 2002.” Dr. Dru Johnson is a theologian and philosopher on the faculty of The King’s College in New York City. He has authored several books on Scripture’s epistemology. Dru distinctively shares and carries on my own Polanyi-based philosophical work, especially as it applies to Scripture.
Longing to Know: The Philosophy of Knowledge for Ordinary People (Brazos, 2003) is a transformative book about how we go about knowing in every area of our lives. It's especially for people considering Christianity who have issues around faith and reason, certainty and doubt. The book's playful "driving analogy" is that "Knowing God is like knowing your auto mechanic." Check out Meek's work at www.estherlightcapmeek.com
