Christian Apologetics 2nd Ed Paperback – January 10, 2003

I suppose being more educated and philosophy and critical thinking would allow me to make more sense of this book however I'm still getting it. Just take it slow. There are also apologists on YouTube that go through this book that's been helping me. Quality, contrast and size of print are all good.

Van Til is the father of presuppositional/covenantal/Reformed apologetics. He drew on some of the perspectives of other Reformed fathers of the faith and innovated the way we think about, and approach an apologetic situation by staying true to Scripture in our apologetic method.This book is certainly worthy of the time of any Reformed Christian that is looking to follow the command of 1 Peter 3:15. A more comprehensive book would be The Defense of The Faith, but I'd suggest that book for people already knowledgeable with Van Til.

This book is an excellent introduction to Cornelius Van Til's presuppositional apologetic. Written as an introductory work for his students at Westminster Seminary, it includes the theological foundations of the method and the philosophical, epistemological, and methodological issues surrounding apologetics.Van Til spends much of this book explaining the shortcomings of the Roman Catholic and Arminian apologetic methods while demonstrating how the Reformed presuppositional framework is the proper framework to employ when apologizing from a Biblical worldview.I recommend this book to any person looking for a solid introduction to Van Tillian thought written by Van Til himself and including insightful comments by William Edgar, professor of apologetics at Westminster Seminary.

Van Til’s presupposition apologetics has proved not only Biblical but prophetic and very much needed in the Post Modern Western culture! This book is very helpful to our understanding of the watery culture we’re swimming in our day.

Just to be clear, this content isn't really apologetics. It's more like meta-apologetics. But it helps lend a clarifying perspective on the whole endeavor.

I knew Dr. Van Til as a youth and as a young pastor. Very deep. Very thoughtful. Very Biblical. As some of his students have noted, he was very eloquent in the classroom, but not as eloquest in his writings.

awesome!

Van Til is a beast! In a good way! He has changed my thinking in apologetics. I owe that man a lot! Get the book!
