The Intertwined Authority of Knowledge Resources in the Understanding and Explanation of Belief Teachings

To speak about the relationship of knowledge resources in the system of religious knowledge is of special importance. The available views in this respect, exploited various approaches; some have seen the reason independent in both states of establishment and discovering, and some others have regarded narration as self-sufficient. Both views, in this essay, have been seen as incomplete, and it defended the intertwined authority of reason and narration. In understanding the propositions, in explaining and reasoning them and defending them, reason accompanies the narration. Narration also assists the reason in the communicating, elaborating, noticing and teaching the facts to others, and also aids it in completion of method. Otherwise, in one hand, reason will result in the irregular interpretation, suspension and reduction of religious teachings, and narration, on the other, also will lose its inter-subjective place. Since the reason affirms the aids of narration and digests them in its structure, the final accepted methodology is rational.
