Classical Foundationalism
How Do We Know:
1.The Bible says we can know what good and evil are (Genesis 3:22), We can know that the Bible is God Breathed (2 Timothy 3:16), that Jesus is the son of God (1 John 5:20), that Christians are going to heaven (Romans 10:9), and that man was made in the Image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). None of these propositions would escape the skeptical challenge, because they are all come from a book that can't be justified to a skeptic. One can justify the existence of a god, but one can not justify that that god is God, in a skeptical approach.
2.Rationalism and empiricism are both views of how people gain knowledge. Rationalism is the view that knowledge comes from reason and what makes sense. While empiricism is the view that knowledge is gained by experiences.
3. There are 4 levels of certainty, 3, 2, 1, and 0. 3 is certainty without a doubt and 2 is certainty without reasonable doubt. 3 and 2 are the levels that required for knowledge because level 1 is based off of assumption and 0 is uncertainty. Though 2 has some doubt it's not reasonable enough to make someone question what they know.

And only those properly basic beliefs make it a justified belief according to classical foundationalism. Modest foundationalism is based off of classical foundationalism, but less conservative with what is consider a probably basic belief. It uses basic beliefs to build on to that belief but is not limited to only 3 basic beliefs. Coherentism goes along with the Coherent theory of truth. And like that theory of truth Coherentism is based on what makes sense, one belief a person has is supported by the other beliefs they hold. Contextualism says that beliefs are justified by other beliefs based on the context of the society. For example People don't find it acceptable to get married at 16 in the U.S., but in the past eras it was
