I look forward to the aesthetic angle being developed more fully. The discussion of Warfield and Dowey (both eminent professors at Princeton Theological Seminary, even though separated by 50 or more years) is especially interesting to me. Although I haven't engaged Dowey's book as much as I should (I received an award named after the man, I should know it cold!), nor have I read Warfield as closely as I should, my tendency is to think that Warfield is pushing Calvin in directions that Calvin wouldn't want to go - especially when it comes to formulating a notion of inerrancy. I would probably analyze what Calvin is doing with the <i>indicia</i> in terms of rhetoric. Interesting. I look forward to the aesthetic angle being developed more fully.
