Just a few suggestions.<BR/><BR/>1) Van Til never sees himself as a Christian Philosopher but rather a "consistent Reformed Theologian that wishes to supply a consistent Reformed Apologetics."<BR/><BR/>2) The new biography of Van Til, I think, is the best one done on Van Til by far.

It is written by John Muether.<BR/><BR/>ReformedSinner (DC)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-33370043428636133202008-04-15T21:40:00.000-05:002008-04-15T21:40:00.000-05:00Thank you for this post.

In regard to Schaeffer's view of Van Til's apologetics, please see the Schaeffer article posted on the PCA Historical Center site at http://www.pcahistory.org/documents/schaefferreview.html<BR/><BR/>This article by Schaeffer appeared in the context of a larger series authored primarily by J. Oliver Buswell, Jr. in which Buswell critiqued the presuppositionalism of Van Til.<BR/><BR/>[Also of note in that series is the admission by Buswell that it was Dr. Allan A. MacRae who coined the term "presuppositionalism".]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
