Contours of a Christian Philosophy

Kalsbeek, clearly a true believer but otherwise not identified, introduces general readers interested in Christian philosophy to Dooyeweerd's (law, Free U.) Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea. He begins by perusing the nature of philosophy itself, then discusses such topics as sphere sovereignty, the faith aspect in restrictive and expansive functions, the experience of identity, structures of human society, the problem of the Christian state, types of enkaptic interlacements, and the elements of philosophical anthropology. The translation into English passed through several hands; no Dutch publication is cited. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
