Abstract

Reformed Epistemology successfully defends the rationality of Christian belief against evidentialist objections. Plantinga demonstrates that belief in God can be properly basic and warranted without inferential justification. But this apologetic achievement leaves a methodological gap: believers know they are rational to believe, yet lack rigorous tools for adjudicating between competing doctrines. Both Calvinist and Arminian can claim warranted beliefs about salvation; Reformed Epistemology offers no criteria for choosing between them. This paper argues that Anselm's fides quaerens intellectum fills precisely this gap. Beginning with faith and deploying reason to explore internal coherence, Anselmian method provides constructive theological tools that complement Reformed Epistemology's defensive posture. Three case studies demonstrate the method's utility: the logical order of salvation, the relationship between justification and sanctification, and the grounds of assurance. In each case, Anselmian analysis clarifies underlying commitments, reveals logical structures, and enables more productive theological dialogue. The paper concludes that this medieval method addresses a critical need in contemporary evangelical thought—transforming apologetic defense into constructive systematic theology.

Abstract

The digital era presents a paradox: unprecedented connectivity coexists with profound spiritual alienation. Contemporary churches, particularly those exceeding 200 members, increasingly experience "crowds without community"—high attendance coupled with shallow relational engagement. This qualitative study analyzes the limitations of mass-oriented ministry models and proposes small group structures as strategic solutions. Drawing from theological foundations (Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27), sociological theory (Dunbar's Number), and empirical research, this paper demonstrates that churches prioritizing secondary orientations (buildings, finances) over primary missions (spiritual formation, discipleship) risk organizational dysfunction and spiritual superficiality. Small groups (8-12 members) provide intensive spiritual formation through authentic fellowship and organic integrity monitoring through relational accountability, while addressing contemporary challenges including digital literacy deficits and civic responsibility formation. The study concludes with a paradigm shift from organizational mass structures to organic relational networks.
