Reading Hodge on the inductive method in theology with all his discussion of “facts” and “truths” that are all there in the Bible, but must be ordered, reminds me of nothing so much as Logical Atomism and Wittgenstein’s Tractaetus. Of course, Hodge would demand a systematic relations between these truths, but the truths are treated as so obvious that it is hard to believe the relations are all that firm in comparison to the things themselves.
