It did not take into account (and still does not) the contributions of others. In your statment you said: "I have been convinced of “Reformed Theology”, I would rather call it Biblical Theology of the New Covenant kind, for the majority of my life, my sister and her husband work with a Reformed believing church." To say that Reformed Theolog is "biblical theology" is to say that other (Eastern Orthodox, Afrian American, Catholicism) are "unbiblical" or at least "pseudo-biblical". The Reformed faith does not allow other experiences to sit at the table of theological discussion, to embrace it is also to embrace its: hermeneutic, worship music, culture, and historical authors and theologians. That is what I mean Sir. I call myself Reformed from a Doctrines of Grace perspective but it stops there. For me to be truly reformed would mean for me to neglect apart of my culture. Aussie,
