Presentation Abstract
The pedagogical mission of academic librarianship embraces information literacy. “Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.” (https://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/ilframework) The Association of College and Research Libraries proposes a Framework for teaching information literacy, including knowledge, practices, and dispositions--addressing both the consumption and production of information.
In 2 Peter, the knowledge, practices, and dispositions of the faith community (2 Pet 1), contrasted with those of the false teachers (2 Pet 2), are applied to a truth warfare issue (2 Pet 3). Using this Biblically informed and faith integrated application of the Framework, the theme developed in 2 Peter of “growing in knowledge” as relational, performative, and consequential equips the Christian disciple to “be not deceived” and to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Pet 3:17-18)--both in the discernment and proclamation of truth.
I propose the Framework speaks to how those members of the learning community who pursue Biblical Theology engage one another as they seek to grow in knowledge and communicate with each other. The Framework does not attempt to define truth. Instead, it guides how we, together as a community of faith, as fellow seekers for truth, can effectively engage one another as we pursue the truth. The Framework tacitly exposes unhealthy communication practices, many of which challenge the faith community, by fostering healthy communication practices.
