  • Honesty In Apologetics

    For some time now I have wanted to post concerning honesty in apologetics. Honesty appears to be just as scarce in much apologetic material as humility. There are a number of reasons I have not yet written the post. One such reason is that I have been a bit under the weather. My desk is rather full at the moment as well and I owe several people responses. Thankfully I found a well written post on the topic here that I can just link to and encourage you to read.

    See you when I am well, Lord willing!…

  • Theology Drives Apologetic

    What we believe drives what we’re defending, obviously. When someone defending another position that claims to be Christian interacts with us, how are we to respond? Many times, that will tell unbelievers as much about us as our interaction with them does. Wes Widner, featured recently due to his citation of Open Theist Gregory Boyd, has criticized Dr. James White in the recent past, quite vehemently.

    Most notably for: “misrepresenting and slandering” William Lane Craig, Norm Geisler, etc.

    When pressed to give examples on The Dividing Line, Wes was unable to give any concrete examples. In other conversations since, Wes …

  • Should we argue for “general theism”?

     

     

    In my experience the presuppositionalist program of setting out to defend specifically Christian theism generally produces scoffing rather than interaction. At the beginning of his debate with Gordon Stein, Greg Bahnsen states his position on this matter. He says, “I want to specify that I’m arguing particularly in favor of Christian theism, and for it as a unit or system of thought and not for anything like theism in general, and there are reasons for that.”

    There are at least two senses in which Bahnsen explains he will not be arguing for or defending theism in general. Bahnsen …

  • Free Seminary Course: History of Philosophy

    “God’s worldview is the only one that matters.” – Ron Nash

    If you have never visited or used www.biblicaltraining.org then I highly recommend you go and take a look now.

    The specific reason for this post is to recommend the class called History of Philosophy and Christian Thought taught by Dr. Ron Nash. While I am not in complete agreement with everything Dr. Nash taught, he was a superb teacher. I listened to this seminary level course on my iPod the summer after I graduated and can still remember most of it with great clarity; no doubt due to the …

  • Jeff Downs and Presuppositional Apologetics Resources

    Recall my post on the Groothuis review of Collision. Jeff Downs also mentioned the review in a post over at Alpha and Omega Ministries that is worth a read. Ever aware of presuppositional resources especially as provided by Westminster Theological Seminary he also provided links to some videos that I have not seen before, one of which I have reposted here.
