Christian scholarship and Calvinistic or Christian philosophy

Abstract

In the circles of Christian scholarship the idea of a Christian or Calvinistic philosophy is a fam iliar notion. Outside of these circles there seem to exist very little familiarity with the underlying motivations which have given rise to such an academic endeavour or with the type of problems which are focussed upon in this approach. This article is primarily intended for consumption outside of the reformed and of this notion. Moreover the article is of a popular scientific nature and has no intention of giving an exhaustive exposition of these problems or the discussion concerning them.
