Reply to Richard Muller and David Wells - John Frame
WTJ 59:2 (Fall 97)
 
I doubt one can understand the discussion until they have grasped John Frame's "theology-as-application" model, which he spends some time developing in Doctrine of the Knowledge of God. Richard Muller and David Wells approach theology according to the old model, as a science. Hence their view of history and historical theology allows for normativity, whereas Frame's approach can consider a truth as valid in one age but a redundancy in another.
 
I have read most of what Frame has written and much of what Wells has written (and thoroughly enjoyed both!). Mueller is in the mail at the moment.
