Critical issues in recent developments in Reformational philosophy: a perspective1

Abstract

Although the present is a time of great opportunity for Reformational thinking and activity, some Reformational philosophers are proposing a reconstruction of the tradition at the foundational level. Consequently, the present can also he seen as a time of crisis for the tradition as a whole. Proposed shifts are examined in the foundational areas of creation order, the antithesis and the authority of Scripture. These shifts are related to understandings of our context and thus the nature of modernity/postmodernity and its connection to these shifts also receives attention.
