Tremper Longman III actually got it right when he called Cornelius Van Til a “philosopher.” As many of you know, Dr. Craig and Van Til’s biographer John Muether have both openly declared that “Van Til was not a philosopher,” while Dr. Anderson and John Frame of RTS have said that Van Til “is a philosopher.” [...]
