Thinking about God.

I stumbled upon the blog, Helm's Deep, today while perusing the internet. I found this post/paper to very interesting, though it is some challenging reading. I have wanted to study Warfield's writings, as he was a major theologian.
A major problem with many Evangelicals, particularly "Fundamentalist" Evangelicals, is that they don't think much about what they don't think about (to paraphrase from Inherit the Wind). They also don't think much about what they do think about. They think and speak and preach often on God, but they don't think and speak and preach much about what they think about God, and about some of the deeper principles of theology. They take too many of their thoughts about God for granted. They don' take too much time to think if what they think about God is Scripturally and logically viable. For so many Evangelicals, they have replace philosophy with tradition. They don't have to think for themselves, because someone else has thought for them. I think it would do them well to think more.
