From a ministry magazine after reading Beyond Foundationalism:

I have been forced, upon deeper reflection about theological method, to give up what I call epistemological certitude...Reformed dogmaticians and teachers on the conservative side seek a steady, unshakable and certain knowledge...John Franke suggests that the agenda employed by such theologians 'glorifies reason and deifies science.' I have changed my mind about the way to do theology, and I confess i now agree with Franke's conclusions.

If there is a foundation in Christian theology, and I blieve that there must be, then it is not found in the Chuch, Scripture, tradition or culture.

Theology must be a humble human attempt to 'hear him'--never about rational approaches to texts.
