Not sphere sovereignty per se, but the philosophy undergirding it, is well evaluated by William Young in two WTJ volumes from the 70s, entitled "Historic Calvinism and Neo-Calvinism." Cornelis Pronk also wrote an article in Banner of Truth magazine. One volume I haven't been able to obtain is Ronald Nash, Dooyeweerd and the Amsterdam Philosophy, but have heard it is very good.Originally Posted by CaseyBessette

Actually one of Dooyeweerd’s critics, and a rather informed one since he was a close colleague at the VU and brother in law, was Theodoor VollenhovenI have not read Dooyeweerd himself, but I am familiar with his ideas.

there is no will nor running by which we can prepare the way for our salvation, it is wholly of the Divine Mercy Jean Calvin Institutes II . V. 17
