Three Sources of Knowledge

My Father-in-law (David Goyder) wrote a fascinating account of his thoughts in
 “Facing up to Reality - a Rational Approach to the Christian Faith”.
In it he argues that there are three sources of knowledge
that correspond with the three Persons of the Trinity
- instinct, senses, and intuition.
Instinctive knowledge
will tend to be associated with the intellectual type (Father);
the sense based knowledge (sight, sound, touch, taste and smell)
will be associated with the sense-based personalities across the middle (Son);
and intuitive knowledge with the sanguine (Holy Spirit).
