Request (Updated)
My time for Choosing Hats is likely to be limited for at least a short while. The doctors think that my wife Kerri has something in her brain pressing against her optic nerve. They would like to schedule a CT scan right away. Thank you for your prayers.
*UPDATE* Kerri had an MRI which had completely normal results. These results eliminate a number of potential problems. The next step is an appointment with a more specialized doctor. Thank you again for your prayers.…

Introductory Level Apologetics Books
In light of the fact that Christmas is almost here and in light of the frequently asked questions I receive regarding introductory level material on covenantal apologetics I have provided a list of introductions to presuppositional apologetics.

Wise Advice?
Some readers will recall that when I briefly interacted with a post by Brandon Adams I was quick to add that, “One of the reasons I do not tend to engage in arguments against Clarkianism is that I am rather unfamiliar with the position.” Thus far this statement unfortunately remains true as I simply have not had the time to read through Gordon Clark’s work yet. I noted that a problem I saw with the aforementioned post is that, “there is not much by way of interaction with the position Van Til and Bahnsen actually held…In fact there are no …
