Episode 70 - The One on Presuppositional Apologetics
Show Notes
This month we (in our view) bravely jump into a completely different form of Apologetics - Presuppositional Apologetics.
It can be a bid disorientating as in Andrew’s words it can be summarised as “God’s word says you are wrong so you have no case to make".
Frances is more measured with her summary: “the only proof of the Christian position is that, unless its truth is presupposed, there is no possibility of proving anything at all”. We give a brief history starting from Cornelius Van Til “the Father of presuppositionalism”. It is linked with Calvinism, also called ‘Reformed Theology’.
It’s use in other religions and branches in Christianity is informative, as it’s usual bedfellow – Young Earth Creationism. There will be a Part 2 on this next year. Links:If you need more we recommend the treatment by the Reasonable Doubts podcast – episodes 97 & 98.
Frances mentioned an article by Keith A. Mathison- here’s the link:https://tabletalkmagazine.com/posts/christianity-and-van-tillianism-2019-08/ Doubts Aloud Links:Please give feedback and ask questions using: [email protected] Join the Facebook
