Toward a Reformed Apologetics
A Critique of the Thought of Cornelius Van Til
Keith A. Mathison
Part of Reformed Exegetical Doctrinal Studies series
Evaluates Van Tillian’s views on apologetics
Clears away misunderstandings
Cornelius Van Til claimed that all traditional apologetic methodologies are flawed and that those Reformed Christians who use such methods are compromising their theology. His sought an apologetic method that is truly consistent with Reformed theology. For almost a century, theologians have debated this topic. This book seeks to take the debate in a more constructive direction by clearing away as much misunderstanding as possible in order that we might add to discussions of apologetic methods the actual practice of apologetics.

My only mark against Mathison is that he did not write this book fifteen years ago.

Mathison should be commended for his humility and diligence to move the discussion forward in the best of ways.
