IV. The Total Picture
A. My problems with the “traditional method.”
1. This method compromises God himself by maintaining that his existence is only “possible” albeit “highly probable,” rather than ontologically and “rationally” necessary.
2. It compromises the counsel of God by not understanding it as the only all-inclusive, ultimate “cause” of whatsoever comes to pass.
3. It compromises [...]

III. Toward a Christ-Centered Apologetic
Deciding, therefore, to follow the Reformers in theology, it was natural that I attempt also to do so in apologetics. I turned to such Reformed apologists as Warfield, Greene, and others. What did I find? I found the theologians of the “self- attesting Christ,” defending their faith with a method which [...]

II. Christ Writes Me a Letter
I have never met Christ in the flesh. No matter, he has written me a letter. Not he, himself. He chose helpers. By his Spirit, the Spirit of truth, these helpers wrote what he wanted me to know. From heaven my Lord then sent his Holy Spirit on Pentecost to [...]

[Cornelus Van Til, perhaps the founder of presuppositional apologetics, defines his beliefs in "My Credo".  I will copy the paper in four separate posts.]
My Credo
By: Cornelius Van Til

The following essay was taken from the book, Jerusalem and Athens which was written as a Festschrift for Dr. Van Til on his birthday. This book is still [...]

Literally. What exactly are apologetics? Why should we use them? When should we? What’s their purpose? The answers, of course, are to be found in scripture. This series will study the nature of apologetics by examining the questions above, along with others, and referencing a great deal of biblical [...]

I saved this post for part two because I wanted to show in part one that the doctrine of inerrancy is a worthwhile consideration because Scripture itself claims to be inerrant.  That is, Biblical inerrancy is not a doctrine of man, but of verbum Dei.  So from the previous post, we saw that Scripture claims to [...]

This will be part one of a three part series concerning the inspiration and veracity of the Bible.
There is a fallacy among many Christian thinkers which says that the Bible–the Word of God–cannot be infallible or inerrant.  They do not disagree with the idea of inspiration, but their concept of inspiration does not preclude (indeed, [...]

I’ll be relying on the following article by William Lane Craig for this post.  Please read it before continuing.

For the time being, I’m going to focus on a small point the article brings up, specifically [...]

24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Matthew 24:35 RSV
Each synoptic gospel contains this exact statement by Jesus Christ, despite the surrounding parable being of different wording (Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33). Jesus clearly meant what he preached, and the authors took this to heart. But such is not the [...]

This section of Ehrman’s book focuses on the timeline and background of the NT writings.  Here is a summary of Ehrman’s summary of the origins of the Gospels: 
The Gospels go back to oral traditions, mainly from people who had not been there.  “Moreover, it [this chapter] will maintain that stories like this tend to change in the process [...]
