Van Til’s Deception

Dan will discuss his new book, A Gift From God; How Presuppositionalism Undermines Christianity; a critique of the Christian apologetic credited to the Theologian Cornelius Van Til. Presuppositionalism is an argument that relies on our intuitions and pseudo-philosophical sleight-of-hand in an attempt to establish the necessity of God’s existence. This approach presupposes the Christian God of the Bible while bypassing the need for evidence. Dan will discuss why this apologetic is becoming popular now, and what it says about the state of Christian apologetics in general.
