Four Roads to Knowledge

In his book, “Understanding people”,
Dr Crabb  mentions that philosophers have identified
four separate roads to knowledge, which are
intuition, reason, experience and revelation.
These correspond in part to my father-in-law’s idea
of three sources of knowledge determined by the Trinity,
and to our temperaments.

Relevation and experience seem to be the passive and active ways
in which God makes himself known to us through the senses.
Reason equates to instinct,
in the sense that our minds have the knowledge of God imprinted on them.
And intuition is the Spirit induced immediate knowledge
where we just “know” that something is right, wrong or about to happen.
