You would like the essays by Dooyeweerd Roots of Western Culture. Have you read those?

I've read some of Dooyeweerd's philosophical writings and my head nearly exploded. What's your take on Dooyeweerd?

I once posted a little here on FR. Roots of Western Culture (if you can find or loan a copy) is not explosive.

Is it possible - just a thought before I dig deeply into all the rest of this - that Christian dualism springs from the difficulty that most Christians have in realizing that they already participate in eternal life? In other words, that we tend to look forward to some unspecified future date and destination, failing to realize that we've already arrived now? "In the world but not of the world" must have some meaning greater than simple human aspiration, don't you think?

Or am I missing the point completely?
