““As most Van Tilians realize, Van Til fought diligently to purge the Reformed tradition from the remnants of scholasticism that remained in the thought of Old Princeton, Kuyper, and Bavinck. In light of that purging, presently it seems that those Van Tilians influenced by Frame are unsatisfied with Van Til’s view that the sole Archimedean point of a Christian epistemology is the ontological and economic Trinity. Henceforth, these Van Tilians are beginning to supplement the ground of epistemology with something within the creation. As I see it, Frame has been the catalyst for this movement; he is the transitional figure. In this context, I predict that there will be a renewed appreciation for Aquinas and scholasticism, even among Van Tilians.””
