Greetings theonomists and nontheons,
An online article by Dr. Duncan, "Moses' Law for Modern Government" had a link to this forum so I had to sign up. A friend asked me to read this article and I responded to him on my blog at
www.tulipman.wordpress.com. I'm thinking there are some good thinkers around here who wouldn't mind speaking their mind on my blurbage?
I apologize if that article has been beaten to death around here, but rather than get into the myriad of points raised by either Bahnsen or Duncan in their thesis, counter-thesis, etc., I opted for a high level critique of Duncans low-level assumptions. When I read that one sentence, I simply put the paper down and wrote. I was done. It seemed clear. I hope my blog does.
The nontheons, I surmise, have only philosophical pragmatism as the other option for their philosophical foundation and even that is presupposed by that autonomous mind Dr. Van Til railed against. Striking, since we do not presume such folks as Dr. Duncan to take such a tack.
Hope I've whetted your whistle. ;-)
