Abstract

AbstractThe knowledge of God within the faith of believers cannot be attained solely through human reason or empirical experience, but rather through apokalypsisthe self-revelation of God. This study aims to examine the role of apokalypsis as a source of knowledge within Christian epistemology,  as a source of knowledge about Jesus Christ with particular focus on the perspectives of the apostles Paul, John, and Peter. Employing a systematic theological approach and a qualitative research method based on literature study, this research highlights how divine revelation serves as the authoritative foundation for knowing Jesus Christ. The findings indicate that apokalypsis is not merely a disclosure of theological information, but the self-revelation of God that leads to a personal relationship with Himtranscending the limitations of rationalism, empiricism, and existentialism. Apokalypsis constructs a theocentric Christian epistemology, placing God at the center of truth and as the ultimate source of knowledge.Apokalypsis plays a vital role in shaping the true understanding of Jesus Christ among believers and serves as a foundational epistemology that is relevant in addressing the challenges of the modern intellectual world. Keywords: Christian Epistemology, Apokalupsis, Knowledge, Revelation, Jesus Christ
