Thank you for the links. I read the first read from the first link already.
Appreciate your kind words. Want to post your review of Hokema’s book tommorow?
Yes, sir!
I didn’t really care for Jamin’s review of McManis’s book. I thought it was lopsided and ridiculous at points. He complains, for example, that McManis confuses the idea of “history” with the “past” even though the terms are virtually synonymous and misses the entire point of what McManis was stating.
Jamin has an ax to grind against Dispensationalists as presuppositionalists and it shows in his review. He’s friendly with that group that views Presuppositionalism as an apologetic discipline that should be exclusively Covenantal in Its expression. His review was as if he went hunting for something to quibble about and began shooting at anything that fits his anti-dispensational meta-narrative.
In spite of Jamin’s disingenuous panning of McManis’s work, I still believe it is the single best volume you can give anyone to introduce them to apologetic methodology.

Fred,
All the negative review of this book has made me want to read the work for myself eventually (though I’m bogged down with other books I’m reading and it’s size for an introduction does not help in my case). To be frank Fred, I find Jamin’s beef against Israel and adoption of the liberal anti-Israel narrative to be annoying and that the guys over at the Triablogue have done a good job putting what he says in perspective. Thank you for your review of this book though. I was wondering if I can interview you some time in written form for our Dispensational Presuppositionalist’s series? You can find that here: http://veritasdomain.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/index-to-calvinistic-dispensational-presuppositionalism-marathon-series/
Would love to. Contact me via my email to provide details: fivepointer (@) gmail (dot) com.
I’ll email you tommorow! Thanks!
