Check out this recent Seerveld interview. As per usual, Seerveld has some wonderful insights:
If you teach philosophy, you better make somebody wise about things for living. Otherwise, what good is it? But, to help people think with a perspective that encompasses God?s whole world is worth doing. And it may not seem as practical as getting a house built or painted, but to get people a theoretical understanding of how God?s world fits together and how the authority of a church, and of a labor union, and of a school, and of a government should be limited, should be different, but still support one another--to get that kind of a theory developed is an important product, if you will, for a theorist to do that shows the theory is not out of this world but it?s in this world.
