Recent Problems in the Foundations of Mathematics
Terence Perciante
1977

This paper provides an introductory discussion of consistency and completeness.  It discusses the importance of assigning meanings to primitives and how extra-math assumptions enter the selection of a model for Peano’s axioms.  It also provides an extended discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of intuitionism.  It concludes with a brief sketch of some areas in which a Christian perspective might interact with some issues in mathematics.
