Cave To The Cross Apologetics

Don't worry, we'll be back to Bahnsen next week. But first, policy expert Jeff Park and Patrick have to encourage Christian fathers to take an active and central role in the education of their children - even if they're not the primary teacher, although they are primarily responsible.

It's now Patrick's turn to take a short vacation, so this week and next week will be two redux episodes featuring policy expert Jeff Park and the discussion of the Christian's responsibility to educate their children. In this, we talk about modern education, homeschooling, government policies, and why, ultimately, the Christian should fight to educate their children as they see fit.

The previous three episodes leads up to Bahnsen's claim that presuppositional apologetics is the only way to do apologetics. It's the best tool to show the split between Christianity and every other viewpoint. And the best part, it's biblical and it is found in the Christian message itself.

Bahnsen now moves to encouraging the Christian to engage in an apologetic method that attack worldview foundations first and foremost. There's nothing wrong in knowing the positive case for Christianity but when it comes to how one approaches proof and truth, why give up so much of your position to try and achieve a neutral starting point - it's not possible to have and it's not biblical to take.

Continuing Bahnsen's lecture on pushing the antithesis, we see Bahnsen make the case for a pushing the antithesis apologetics and provides the repercussions as seen in real, published literature on what happens if we give up that division between the Christian worldview and the non-Christian worldview.

We now cover a lecture by Greg Bahnsen included in our book that encourages the Christian antithesis to be pushed when comparing our lives to those of the world and also in our apologetics. Here Bahnsen shows the Van Tillian origin of this idea in apologetics but shows the presence of it from Genesis all the way through the Old and New Testament.

Finishing up the question, we see that a proper examination would have led Greg Bahnsen to present the transcendental argument that he was known for and how Christian TAG solves it all.
