Drawing Parallel Lines between Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Apostle Paul’s Concept of Different Gifts

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This is a study of the parallelism between Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) and Paul’s concept of different gifts (DG) in Romans 12: 6-8, Ephesians 4: 10-13 and 1 Corinthians 12: 4-12. A hermeneutical research method was employed in the study. The result of the exegesis led to a clear relationship between Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) and Paul’s concept of different gifts (DG). Both Paul and Gardner have the same understanding of intelligence as being diverse rather than unitary. Gardner approached the subject matter from a psychological and biological perspective, while Paul approached it from a religious and spiritual perspective. They attempted to help people understand the true nature of intelligence or gift.
