Narrative Concering Books Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended
What once was lost, now is found! Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen, the definitive champion of Cornelius Van Til's revolutionary Reformed apologetical method, wrote this systematic treatise and defense of Biblical apologetics many years before his untimely death. Dr. Bahnsen received the typeset proofs for editing, but due to the unfortunate accidents of history the only copy was lost. The work, consequently, was never published. In our Lord's Providence, after some twenty years, our friends at Covenant Media Foundation discovered the lost proofs. They recently sent them to us at American Vision where our enthusiastic editors busily began preparing the work for publication. Finally, our work has paid off! This magnum opus of apologetics lays out the Biblical presuppositional method, provides rigorous Biblical proof, and defends the uniqueness of the method. This is the work we all longed for Bahnsen to write, yet never knew that he already had written it! Now rescued from the dustbin of history, this monument of apologetics will provide must-reading for Christian defenders of the faith for generations to come.Specify Based On Books Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended

The lost book of Bahnsen! Bahnsen sets out to write a more straightforward layout for the presuppositional apologetic (aka reformed epistemology). If you've read Jason Lisle "The Ultimate Proof For Creation", this is the grad level or higher level version of that. In fact, you can see where Lisle has borrowed from the fine work of Bahnsen. This is my second year of studying presuppositionalism and it has transformed not only my apologetic method but also strengthened my faith and walk with theWhile Bahnsen's "Always Ready" has been read widely than perhaps any of his other works, I think this current volume by Bahnsen is much more superior to "Always Ready" and recommended as the first work to read as an introduction to Bahnsen's work. The book was "lost" for several decades, originally written by the author as a chapter to another book. The project became big enough to be a separate volume! It is incredible to think that he wrote this as a young man in his mid-twenties. I have met
A clear and reasonably concise look at presuppositional apologetics. Bahnsen takes an unnecessarily confrontational approach to other apologetics, but is, as usual, excellent in presenting his own.
Bahnsen introduced me to presuppositional apologetics with his famous work Van Tils Apologetic. Now, this is not the path I recommend. That work is long, complex, and challenging. It is the kind of book to move onto, after starting with an introductory work. My next read was John Frames Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thought. Againthis is not an introductory workat least not for the layman. This left me in search of a good way to introduce readers to presuppositional apologetics without
Great book. Very clear and complete explanation of presuppositional apologetics.
This is an intermediate book for the Bahnsen devotee!
Bahnsens major work in review here is Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended, published post-humorously in 2008 by The American Vision and Covenant Media Press. It was his magnum opus and completely sold out after a few months of release. Bahnsens basic premise was that apologetics must be exercised upon the infallible and presupposed authority of the Word of Christ in Scripture. Apologetics does not first do obeisance to human philosophy and science and then proceed to encompass God
