Thank you for this. I think you’re spot on in both your appreciation for Bradley and Muller, and in your criticisms of their method. It’s all the more strange because iirc, Muller, at least, would claim to be a presuppositionalist. A big ‘Amen’ to careful, historically located readings and awareness of our own bias, but a big ‘boo’ to the goose of ‘neutrality’. As you say, even were it possible, for a Christian thinker, and especially for a pastor, it would be deeply undesirable.
