It is indeed interesting from an academic perspective, but it certainly isn't a view which I would consider interesting as a viable teaching in the church. Like Reconstructionism, it falls into extremes. Dooyeweerdianism can be rightly labelled, "hyper-covenantalism". It is also guilty of teaching a cosmological dispensationalism (neat term, eh?) They call it "Sphere Sovereignty" which teaches that the "professionals" within each "sphere", e.g, medicine are to be considered the source of truth, although they do profess to believe that the Scriptures are the final authority. But within their system, what normally occurs is that the Bible is "twisted" to accommodate the "source truth" of each specific sphere. An example of what results from this "blending" of Biblical truth with the "source truth" of the sphere would be Theistic Evolution. Get the idea?
