Steve is...Thanks, Gregory for your helpful comment. Steve is right when he says you have hit the nail on the head. As the writer of the article, I can add a further word of clarification. When one is asked to write this kind of article, one is given a certain number of words. Almost invariably, the first draft takes one beyond the allowed number of words. At this point, one faces the problem of reducing the number of words while retaining the sustance of the article. This is where ambiguity has crept in! Looking back at the article, I can see that the words in brackets - 'later called Christian Philosophy' relate to the second part of the preceding phrase - 'Calvinistic Philosophy' - rather than the whole phrase - 'the Association for Calvinistic Philosophy'. If I had more words available to me, I might have said something like Gregory has said. Unfortunately, the pressure of working within a word limit led to ambiguity. I wanted to point out that D later referred to his work as 'Christian Philosophy' but I didn't want to use more words than necessary & have to omit something else from the article. This led me to tag this phrase - 'later called to Christian Philosophy' - on to the reference to 'Calvinistic Philosophy'. I hope this is helpful, Paul. Thanks, Steve, for putting the article on your blog. Knowing of your interest in Berkouwer, you may be interested to know that my article on 'Pride and Faith in Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics' has been posted by Rob Bradshaw on his Theological Studies blog. You will find the link at www.theologicalstudiesorguk.blogspot.com - 'Charles Cameron on "Berkouwer" and "Theodicy"' (October 16). The theodicy article is entitled, 'A Biblical Approach to Theodicy'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-1161457166417153292006-10-21T19:59:00.000+01:002006-10-21T19:59:00.000+01:00Seems weird to me that someone who had that level ...Seems weird to me that someone who had that level of knowledge could make such a mistake.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789950523908306139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-1161444377371036492006-10-21T16:26:00.000+01:002006-10-21T16:26:00.000+01:00I think you have hit the nail on the head there Gr...I think you have hit the nail on the head there Gregory.stevebishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485378930192829175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-1161377230834830302006-10-20T21:47:00.000+01:002006-10-20T21:47:00.000+01:00I think that is a confusion between the change in ...I think that is a confusion between the change in the name of the Association from Assoc. of Calvinistic Philosophy to the Assoc. of Reformational Philosophy and the change in D.s referring to his own philosophy from Calvinistic to "Ecumenical" Christian.Baushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081376115291852909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-1161372106426283972006-10-20T20:21:00.000+01:002006-10-20T20:21:00.000+01:00"later called Christian philosophy"Is this a mista..."later called Christian philosophy"<BR/><BR/>Is this a mistake?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789950523908306139noreply@blogger.com
