Steve Scrivener
has gathered together John Frame’s comments on Francis Schaeffer’s apologetics from John’s various apologetics books. Steve has added some further reading, some Email correspondence between him and John, and then has reformatted everything into a question and answer format (so the questions [in italics] are Steve’s).

Church Creeds and Christian Schools

Note, 2007: This is a series of articles dealing with a constitutional crisis in the National Union of Christian Schools, now known as Christian Schools International. The first article, “Will the NUCS Remain Christian?” was originally published in The Outlook (April, 1972), 13-16. It also appeared in Christian Educators Journal (May, 1972), 22-23, as "Constitutional Revision in the NUCS: Counting the Cost." The second article, from Christian Home and School, deals with the issue in a more popular way. The third article, from 1982, "Are the Reformed Creeds Worth Keeping in Schools?" The Outlook 32 (Jan., 1982), 7-9 and (Feb., 1982), 6-8, deals with a similar issue, raised ten years later. In all these cases, the issue was the influence of the philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd as reflected in the Association for the Advancement of Christian Scholarship (AACS) and the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto (ICS). On these, see my booklet The Amsterdam Philosophy, http://www.frame-poythress.org/frame_books/1972Amsterdam.htm, and my articles filed under the title “Dooyeweerd and the Word of God” at the same web site. These articles are posted with the permission of the original publishers.

Dooyeweerd and the Word of God by John Frame

Note, 2/19/07: In the early 1970s, I got involved in some theological battles with some disciples of the great Dutch Christian philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd. These disciples had founded the Institute for Christian Studies (ICS) in Toronto, Canada. They held conferences throughout North America and published books and papers. Under the influence of this movement, a number of our students at Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia, where I taught at the time, attacked traditional Reformed theology as “scholastic,” dualist,” and so on, especially because of our teaching concerning the Bible. Other ICS-influenced zealots tried to influence other Christian organizations (schools, churches, seminaries) to follow their lead.

I took issue with the ICS teaching, particularly about the Word of God, but also more broadly (see my booklet, The Amsterdam Philosophy, at http://www.frame-poythress.org/frame_books/1972Amsterdam.htm). The following articles deal with various aspects of this controversy. “The Word of God in the Cosmonomic Philosophy” was published in the Presbyterian Guardian in 1972.The second article, also from the Guardian, consists of notes taken by the Guardian’s editor, the Rev. John Mitchell, of a lecture by me. The notes are accurate. I was trying there to present a positive view of Scripture, interacting with AACS formulations. Dr. Bernard Zylstra of the ICS was gracious enough to respond to me, and so the third article here is my reply to him. The fourth article, “Toronto, Reformed Orthodoxy, and the Word of God” appeared in Vanguard, the publication of the Association for the Advancement of Christian Scholarship, (AACS) which supported the ICS position. After that third paper, there was a kind of truce: they and I more or less agreed to disagree. They, and I, toned down our militant rhetoric, and the atmosphere quieted. There were not many attempts after that by the ICS people to disrupt institutions committed to traditional Reformed views.
