I asked a university student/friend who was taking a philosophy course for the best sources too read up on axioms, and I was given two works: Roy Clouser's book, No Neutral Ground (or something like that) and an essay by Dr. William Young. The former was just a rehash of Dooyweerdianism, and not really worth the time, but the essay by Dr. Young was priceless, just the thing I was looking for.

From there I got interested in another essay by him on Presumptive Regeneration. Earlier I said that I came down on the other side as he, but that's not really true, since what he was speaking against was Kuyperian PR, which resembles Clouser's view in his book. It's just that he said something in that work that stopped me in my tracks, and got me thinking. I did not just follow my opinions, but followed through on the necessary logic of it, and came down solidly on what I had only had a notion of before, namely a good and proper PR.

But, we're way off topic. If you see him, Andrew, let him know that I wish to pay my respects to him, please.
