In reading a Reformed author today (published by P&R), I am struck by this quote:
"...except for Scripture itself, every system of thought is in need of further development. Nothing is a finished product."
And as John Frame has commented: "...I don't believe that Reformed theology is the last word..." (paraphrase). Noted that Frame is thoroughly Reformed and confessional while saying this.
If we're not careful, this kind of talk can get some raised eyebrows in the Reformed world. But is it true? Is the Reformed system complete and not in need of further development? Or is further development needed? If further development is needed in Reformed thought, where do you think it is needed?
