This volume includes the following articles:
Introduction: Conflict Between Natural and Revealed Theologies (Dr. Robert A. Morey). For example, the Sadducees denied the existence of miracles, the immortality of the soul, and the resurrection.   Does Acts 17 Support the Natural Theology Theory? (R.K. McGregor Wright).  The Natural Theologists claim that certain bible verses support natural theology.  However, this article refutes this claim with an exegeses of the verses.   John H. Gerstner on Thomas Aquinas as a Protestant (Dr. Robert L. Reymond).  Here we have an article that puts forth the idea that Thomas Aquinas taught the idea of justification.  For instance, his idea fit the ideas of the reformers.  If the Roman church followed Aquinas who knows where they might be today!

Details about some articles

The Apologetic of R.C. Sproul: Biblical and Reformed?  (A Critique by Charles D. Heck).  A critique of R.C. Sproul and Van Til and their method of apologetics.  What Love Is This? Calvin’s Misrepresentation of God (A Review by Justin T. Alfred).  This review of Calvin is not an apology.  No man tells us the truth about God’s word.  In other words, only God does that, and that through scripture.

The question concerning Acts 17 and Natural Theology answered by the exegesis of that chapter.  Firstly, this takes us to Paul’s speech at the Areopagus about “The Unknown God.”  The Greeks erected many altars to Idols.  However, this altar indicated a God of whom the Greeks were ignorant.  Therefore, Paul used this Altar to introduce Jesus Christ as the unknown God.

The author acknowledged that Augustine failed to develop adequate evidence for justification.  However, the author indicates that Aquinas stayed true to the facts about justification.  If Rome followed Aquinas the reformation may not have been needed.
