Abstract
The harmonization of Hebrew theology with Greek philosophy was the
crowning intellectual achievement of medieval Christianity. Tragically, the
modern
age birthed from that synthesis has lost that harmony: modern culture is
almost completely dominated by purely secular ideologies, Colorado Christian

economic philosophies of socialism and capitalism. Even Christians, both
conservative and liberal, are often influenced more by “baptized” versions of
those world views that by genuine biblical understanding. I believe the
solution to this problem is not to impose theocracy on an unwilling populace,
but to redeem secular philosophy without losing its essential character. The
first step is to recognize that philosophy—“how we think about how we
think”—may be considered a manifestation of the Law, and thus can be
articulated on the basis of General Revelation. The second step is to
construct a
philosophical framework that incorporates the best of both the right and
left, yet is solidly rooted in scriptural principles—an approach I call
Radical Centrism. The final step is demonstrating how this framework can
improve
upon current paradigms to illuminate issues of ethics, economic development,
evangelism, science and faith dialogue, and other intersections between
Christianity and culture.
