Occasionally, I see and hear comments about the relationship between Reformed theology and the pagan world. Some are nervous and hesitant to appreciate non-Christian authors whereas others sometimes express deep appreciation and admiration for those who do not profess the faith but say things that may directly or indirectly help us in our expression of the truth.
For Reformed Catholics, appreciation extends well beyond our Reformed heritage. For our appreciation of the Christian tradition to cease to move beyond our Reformed borders is in fact to cease to be Reformed.[1] But just how far can appreciation extend? Even to pagan sources? Yes, indeed. Natural theology, despite the noetic effects of sin in those inside and outside of the Christian tradition, has yielded many acute and important observations about the world in which we live.
