There are five practical reasons for engaging in this study: (1) To assess the usefulness of the descriptive analytical method, as developed in the later writings of Ludwig Wittgenstein, for Theology. (2) To apply the method specifically in the context of theological-disagreement. Does it work? (3) To help Churchmen to listen sensitively and with openness to those with whom they profoundly disagree. (4) To further research the writings of B. B. Warfield and C. A. Briggs whose contributions are a watershed for Reformed Theology in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries. (5) To shed some light on a parallel debate to that between Warfield and Briggs which is presently -taking place in the U. S. A., between men like Jack Rogers and Donald McKim, on the one side and James Packer and John Woodbridge on the other. The contemporary issue - the infallibility of Scripture.
