Heart Knowledge vs Head Knowledge

Is head knowledge more important than heart knowledge? Where our knowledge of God is concerned, I believe it's more important to have a heart knowledge of God.

There are scholars (yes, scholars) who have an in-depth knowledge of the Bible but who are not Christians. If head knowledge is more important, then why aren't these scholars Christians?

What do I mean by 'heart knowledge'? Basically, heart knowledge of God is gained through our experiences of Him (His faithfulness, His love, etc). Without that, we can be Christians for many years but not having a REAL and STRONG relationship with Him. If Christians are to impact the world for Him and for the good of mankind, then genuine heart knowledge of Him is foundational and fundamental.
