    Sphere Sovereignty / Differentiated Responsibility

    I have not read Dooyeweerd himself, but I am familiar with his ideas.

    What are some basic critiques of his sphere-sovereignty teaching?

    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.
    Yours sincerely,

    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 Vollenhoven

    Good articles on their divergences
