Christian Apologetics

Here Van Til offers a compact guide to the approach he developed for defending Christian belief. He argues that a defense of the faith must start from a coherent body of biblical truth that accounts for every area of knowledge. He emphasizes the deep opposition between Christian and secular worldviews and lays out a way of reasoning that focuses on a specific, biblically grounded common ground with the unbeliever. This revised edition includes a fresh introduction and explanatory notes by William Edgar, a prominent advocate of presuppositional apologetics.
