However, theology being mostly this-worldly, we probably should not rely too much on its statements.

He has the right attitude, but his philosophy is probably not much different from CW, but I don't think Kreeft allows this to overwhelm the spirit of Christianity. In sum, CW is more vigorous and consistent but this is not a good thing for his Christianity - however it does illuminate the philosophy.Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410716623228444076.post-78572603451224731132015-10-29T01:48:23.706+00:002015-10-29T01:48:23.706+00:00Very interesting, thanks.

He proposes that Christ will redeem all time, including the past, and essentially change the past to undo all the evil and mistakes. "Behold, I make all things new." Pity Mr Williams couldn't believe something like that.Dukehttps://theprinceofserendip.wordpress.com/category/serendipity/noreply@blogger.com
