183. What is mysteriously missing as one reads Anthony Diekema’s (Emeritus President of Calvin College) model of the “Socratic Covenant” is the a priori objective truth as found in Holy Scripture. The inscripturated Word is the truth of God already given to a fallen world. Specifically, the Bible is the only infallible rule of faith and obedience (see the Westminster Shorter Catechism Q&A 3). Rather than guarding and defending the truth which God has already established in his creation, Diekema’s nine points of the “Socratic Covenant” emphasize the guardianship of academic freedom as being the academic’s pursuit of the truth (see Diekema, Christian Scholarship, 101–3). Herein, the freedom to pursue the truth is not conditional upon the truth already established in God’s Word; in other words, the freedom to pursue the truth is not grounded upon a corresponding and coherent view of epistemology which maintains that all pursuit after the truth must be found directly or indirectly in conformity with biblical revelation.
