But, God made known to us His relationship of love for man: in His philanthropy, being made visible in Christ and through Christ; His words and actions, and finally His death and resurrection.

Styles of churches through the centuries reflect that particular culture’s artistic skill... more Styles of churches through the centuries reflect that particular culture’s artistic skills, available materials, and its theological expression of Christ manifesting himself in the world. Roman, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles of architecture all express the ecclesiastical piety of Christians from that time and place. A particularly “Catholic architecture” does not exist per se since the Church as its transcendent reality is not confined to any particular time and place.
Church architecture’s departure in the last several decades from providing witness to the sacred is rooted in a post-Enlightenment materialist, reductionist, socialistic anthropology. This philosophical spirit was marked by a general turn toward the subjective–toward a focus on the “inner man” and the respective interpretations of his place within the cosmic order through a hermeneutic that apodictically repudiated the Gospel’s supernatural elements. This embrace of nihilism can be overcome by an architectural return to a consciousness of what Heidegger called a sense of dwelling.

Gettier challenged this criterion in the early 1960s. I attempt to show that while his main argument is precise, the substance of his conclusion is vacuous. Ultimately JTB rests on a foundation of things known that do not need to be justified. These things known are immanantly secured.
