Evangelical Retrieval of Classical Theism [developing]
Key Questions
What is Aquinas' 'dark knowledge' in the context of classical theism?
Aquinas' 'dark knowledge' refers to apophatic worship, emphasizing unknowability of God. It contributes to evangelical retrieval of classical theism.
How does the Filioque relate to the essence-energy distinction?
Defending the Filioque alongside the essence-energy distinction sharpens East-West Trinitarian synthesis. This counters dilutions and highlights Pro-Nicene advantages.
What does Carl Trueman observe about young evangelicals?
Trueman notes young evangelicals' attraction to Anglican liturgy. This reflects broader retrieval of classical theism in evangelical circles.
How does classical theism address time, eternity, and evil?
It explores the relation of time and eternity entangled with evil, as in 'Now, Now and Not-Yet.' This tackles theodicy questions.
What role does NT Wright play in these discussions?
NT Wright's views on preexistence contribute to Trinitarian synthesis. They align with defenses against dilutions in classical theism.
