Description
Summary:Part 2 of 2. This series of articles seeks to present a viable hermeneutical framework according to which Christian scholars and educators may read social scientific literature with theological clarity. Part 1 established how Christians may approach and qualify social science models of human development, and introduced the "principle of inverse consistency." Part 2 develops and applies that principle by establishing the manner in which Christians may engage and appropriate social science models of human development. To that end, this article concludes by proffering a four-step hermeneutical protocol.
