Presuppositional Apologetics Anyone?

Lately I have been very busy. I am taking two online classes, remodeling our house, and two birthdays in the family, plus the holidays. Therefore, I do not have the time to blog as extensively as I would like, but I do have a little time to point you in some directions that may help you grow as a theologian and student of the Word.

I was sharing with a co-worker today that no one is truly an atheist. Romans chapter 1 demands that, at best, they have bought into their own lie. This led to a discussion which made me realize that I need to brush up on my apologetics.

On my Ipod I have a fantastic debate between Greg Bahnsen and Gordon Stein. This is a clinic for how to debate as a presuppositional apologists. I did some searching on google for the audio and it is available for free here:

Bahnsen-Stein Debate MP3's

There is a lot of other good resources on this site. I also have a few more links that will help give you an introduction to apologetics and specifically to Van Til and his presuppositional framework.

This site has a lot of audio: Apologetics Audio

John Frame's response to the Bahnsen- Stein debate: Frame-Poythress Site

Great Site with a lot of resources: Center for Reformed Theology

I would also like to point you to, what I think, is the best defense of God's sovereignty that I have heard. It combines a High view of God with a loving compassionate response to the question of God's sovereignty and natural disasters. It also deals with how Christians should view tragic events and illnesses.

It is a interview on National Public Radio with John Piper. You will not regret listening to it.

Here is the link: Tsunami Interview

These resources have greatly influenced me and I hope that they will be of great benefit to you through the power of the Word and His Spirit.
