Joel quotes Frame and Craig on presuppositional apologetics. Joel quotes Frame as saying, “But are we not still forced to say, ‘God exists (presupposition), therefore God exists (conclusion),’ and isn’t that argument clearly circular? Yes, in a way. But that is unavoidable for any system, any worldview. One cannot argue for an ultimate standard...

Presuppostionalism And Epistemology
Joel claims that presuppositionalists make God second to epistemology. That statement is fallacious. In fact, it is nonsensical. Epistemology is the study of the source and nature of knowledge. Presuppositionalists say that God is the source of all knowledge. That means God answers the epistemelogical question. This is nothing new. It may be a...
The Word of God
It is only if you reject the Bible as the word of God that you can separate the so-called religious and moral instructions of the Bible from what it says, e.g., about the physical universe. Cornelius Van Til, Christian Apologetics, pg 2

The Best Apologetic of All

That is my opinion, but I must ask how many people have come to Christ through learning that Noah’s ark could indeed hold all of those animals? That would seem to serve to confirm the faith of a person...
In Tragedy It Is Not “Why?” But “Who?”
After Job asked many questions, he got no answers other than that God was wiser than he. You would think that he would have not appreciated that response. Modern man certainly doesn’t, it seems. The truth is, however, God is indeed wiser than we. Modern man seeks to bring God into judgment as though...
Why Dave Black Wrote “Why Four Gospels?”
I wrote my book Why Four Gospels? not so much to argue for Matthean priority as to affirm the complete historicity and apostolicity of the Gospels. Early in my Christian experience I discovered that the Gospels were — and needed to be — central in my understanding not only of the Good News about...
Evangelicals And Scripture
Within evangelical circles, the decline of expository preaching in favor of topical speeches laced with person anecdotes, insights, and examples drawn from cultural authorities communicates to God’s people where we think the power and relevance of our speech really lies. Michael Horton: The Christian Faith
The Goal of Theology
The goal of theology is not to answer all of our questions and give us intellectual mastery of our object: rather, it is the practical reconciliation of sinners to God. Michael Horton, The Christian Faith, pg 97
