ABX Final Exam Practice Questions
and Answers 100% Pass

What is meant by the term presuppositionalism? And how does this affect an

individual's theology? - ANSWER✔✔-the starting point, the ultimate one - the triune

God speaking through his Word. And no other presupposition can go first by

definition.


Relate the following terms: 1) Special Revelation, 2) General Revelation, and 3)

Common Grace insight with 1) John Calvin's "seed of religion", 2) non-Christians

knowing surface truth, and 3) Scripture. - ANSWER✔✔-Special Revelation is like

scripture

Explain Cara's point that a Reformed hermeneutic is both: (1) antithetical to views that

do not acknowledge JC for ultimate issues and (2) potentially accommodating to all

views for proximate issues. - ANSWER✔✔-Ultimate arguments are based on SR, but

may include GR within the SR framework

,Proximate (secondary) arguments are based only on GR or only put within a common

grace framework.


He means that if you were arguing about divorce for example the ULTIMATE answer is

JC says don't. But there are proximate arguments like (bad for kids, hard for finances,

etc.)


So we can be accommodating to proximate issues as long as they aren't in conflict with

SR and therefore aren't in conflict with an ultimate issue.


Label the following as either Modernism or Post-Modernism: emotion good, form

follows function, computer hyperlinks bad, all things are relative. - ANSWER✔✔-

Emotion Good = Postmodern


Form Follows Function = Modern


Computer Hyperlinks Bad = Modern


All things are relative - Postmodern


Concerning the nightly news, give two examples of Modernism and two examples of

Post-Modernism in a typical broadcast - ANSWER✔✔-Modernism - we only tell the

truth, not what the readers/listeners want. We don't do a bias at all.


Just reporting fact level things (i.e. Here is how many people died from Irma)


We don't have biases.

,Postmodernism - looks at motives of legislation and not merit.


Activist journalism - something written in order to cause change of heart/mind/action.


Community based or neighborhood journalism - news that readers could use


Reporting with an angle (i.e. Here is why these people died in Irma (i.e. Bad

policy/regulation on nursing homes).


In Pratt's view, does "hermeneutics" include influences on the interpreter? -

ANSWER✔✔-Yes, influences on the interpreter are part of his view.


Explain how the authority aspect of the "authority-dialogue model" produces a

hermeneutical spiral, not simply a hermeneutical circle? - ANSWER✔✔-God has the

greater 'weight' or power of voice or authority if you will. So it is not merely a give and

take (as in between equals) but it is a dialogue with one having authority over another.

So it is not circular but rather moves forward or spirals toward a point.


Give an example (not one of Cara's) of how one's personal sanctification might

influence interpretation. - ANSWER✔✔-If you are in college hooking up with your

girlfriend you might not read passages about a biblical sexual ethic correctly.


Why should a pastor be knowledgeable of his existential weaknesses? - ANSWER✔✔-

Because of a pastor's calling, he must lean into his weaknesses in order to better preach

the whole counsel of God. So if he doesn't do poetry well (not high on the 'feel scale')

than he has to lean in and learn more to be better at that.

, Give two ways that the Reformed Theology heritage covenant-community should

positively affect Reformed pastors. - ANSWER✔✔-You can see the interconnectivity of

doctrine - and you can see the foundations as they build. We also have great systematic

theologies. Also having agreed upon words is good too - like 'Trinity' - you can use it

within reformed circles and know that you mean the same thing.




Don't need to re-invent the wheel.


All theological traditions have many General Revelation insights into practice as related

to theology.


Books of Church Order are amazingly helpful


Your heritage's agreement in its worship order, elements, circumstances, and hymnody

solves a lot of problems.


Noting your heritage's variations gives you ideas for change.


Standard agreed-upon definitions for theological terms are advantageous.


Which of the following are not Reformed Theology schools or creeds? Dutch school,

Scotch Confession, Council of Trent, Old Princeton, New Penn State, Thirty-Nine

Articles? - ANSWER✔✔-Dutch School - Reformed


Scotch Confession - Reformed


Council of Trent - Catholic
