Description

These features make the book more accessible to readers who are not familiar with Van Til’s thought. The book is divided into ten chapters. The first three chapters are an introduction to the discipline of apologetics. They discuss the importance of apologetics, the task of apologetics, and the method of apologetics. The next three chapters examine the relationship between apologetics and theology. The final four chapters apply apologetics to various areas of life, including science, philosophy, and ethics. The book is a comprehensive treatment of apologetics. It covers the foundational principles, the practical applications, and the relationship of apologetics to other areas of Christian theology. It is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to engage in apologetics, whether they are a pastor, teacher, or layperson. Born out of a 1929 seminary syllabus, this seminal work has undergone numerous revisions before its publication by P&R in 1975. Today, it stands as a landmark in apologetics theory and practice. Editor Bill Edgar’s insightful introduction and explanatory notes make this edition even more approachable to readers unfamiliar with Van Til’s distinctive thought. The book unfolds in ten chapters, with the first three providing a thorough introduction to the field of apologetics. These chapters explore the significance, objectives, and methodology of apologetics. The next three chapters delve into the intricate relationship between apologetics and theology, while the final four chapters demonstrate the practical applications of apologetics in science, philosophy, ethics, and other areas. This comprehensive volume masterfully covers the foundational principles, practical applications, and intersections with other Christian theological disciplines. As a result, it has become an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to engage in apologetics, whether they are pastors, teachers, or laypeople.
