Just paging through the interview of William Edgar, apologetics professor at Westminster, in the July 31st edition of World Magazine. He definitely had a few good ones that puts presuppositional (biblical) apologetics in simple terms: Vail Til is considered to be the leading exponent of “presuppositionalism,” an apologetic that looks at issues of the heart [...]

A few hours ago I received A Popular Encyclopedia of Apologetics, edited by Ergun Caner and Ed Hindson (both editors, as well as over a dozen of the contributors, are professors at Liberty University and Seminary; thus, the book might be said to be a “product of Liberty”). I admit, I had a bad taste [...]

A few of the texts I didn’t have time to discuss on the last podcast (“A Case for Debate”) was the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, Paul’s second missionary journey in Acts 17:1-5, and Apollos in Acts 18. Here’s the text: But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you [...]

Don Carson gives an absolutely wonderful (and presuppositional) answer to the question “How do we know God exists?” He gives the classical apologist a run for his money in only 4 minutes. If there was ever a sound and simple presentation of biblical apologetics and “transcendental” thinking with regards to God’s existence, this would be [...]
