〈聖經的權威與真理〉，《聖經論》/ 柯志明教授

「對基督信仰而言，一個人若不知道他自己、人、世界、超越界怎麼存在又為何存在，又若他不知道是否有上帝，祂是一位怎樣的上帝，與我有何關係，則他不可能知道應如何行事為人，即無法成為一個有價值的人。確實，一個人可以沒有關乎自己、人、世界、超越界與上帝的各種特定的學問理論而仍能好好行事為人，但是他不可能在沒有關乎自己、人、世界、超越界與上帝之基本真知識的情況下而仍能好好活著與行事為人。總之，真知識是必要的，真理是必要的，而基督信仰正告訴我們作為一個人必要的真知識與真理」（柯志明，〈聖經的權威與真理〉，《聖經論》，頁87）

“For the Christian faith, if a person does not know how and why he, himself, the world, and the transcendent world exist, and if he does not know whether there is a God, what kind of God He is and how He relates to me, then it is impossible for him to know how to act and be a person; that is, it is impossible to be a valuable person. It is true that a person can act well as a person without various specific academic theories about himself, humans, world, transcendent world and God, but he cannot be able to live, act, and be a person without the basic true knowledge about himself, humans, world, transcendent world, and God. In short, true knowledge is necessary. Truth is necessary, and the Christian faith is telling us the necessary true knowledge and truth that a person must have” (Immanuel Chih-Ming Ke, “The Authority and Truth of the Bible,” Bibliology, page 87).
