Theological discussion must acknowledge the link between biblical inerrancy and partisan epistemology, as well as examine whether postliberal theologies also contribute to cognitive isolation. Groups threatened by loss of social influence are prone to partisan epistemology, which unjust power can exploit for dominance. Jesus, facing Pilate as a post-truth figure, provides a model of disruptive engagement that resists epistemic injustice and fosters inclusive communities.
Theological reckoning with our contemporary post-truth context must be cognizant of the ways in which adherence to biblical inerrancy fostered the rise of partisan epistemology. It is essential as well to grapple with the question of whether postliberal theologies, by way of a very different theory of truth, also promote the epistemic insulation of Christian faith communities. We need to understand how groups threatened with the erosion of social influence are tempted to indulge in partisan epistemology. It is equally critical to grasp how unjust power exploits such tendencies in girding its loins with epistemological supremacy. Jesus, facing in Pilate a post-truth dominator, models an alternative, namely, disruptive engagement that resists epistemic injustice and opens new space for the construction of unbounded communities of trust and shared understanding.
