This year list’s of recommended books on Presuppositional apologetics is divided into introductory and intermediate level. Each work will have a link to my fuller review and also links to where one can purchase the book.
Here’s this year’s recommendations:
Introductory Level
Every Thought Captive by Richard Pratt Jr
Description: Probably the most simplest introduction to Presuppositional apologetics. My Review can be found by clicking HERE.
Purchase: Westminster | Amazon
Christian Answers to Hard Questions Series (10 Booklet Set)
Description: Ten booklets answering ten different issues by capable scholars. My Review of all ten booklets is compiled in a post HERE.
Purchase: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing
Intermediate Level
The Doctrine of the Word of God by John Frame
Description: The fourth and final volume in the “Theology of Lordship” series, this work on the Bible as the Word of God lays important foundation for our defense of Scripture and also resolves theological issues concerning the nature of Scripture and also defends the authority of Scripture. My Review can be found by clicking HERE.
Purchase: Westminster | Amazon
Theology in Three Dimensions by John Frame
Description: John Frame’s Triperspectivalism has been useful not for worldview apologetics but also for positive construction of balanced, biblical and nuanced theology. This is an introduction to his Triperspectivalism. My Review can be found by clicking HERE.
Purchase: P&R Publishing| Amazon
Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thoughts
Description: John Frame’s critical but yet sympathetic assessment of Cornelius Van Til, the father of Presuppositional apologetics. I don’t agree with everything here with this book but found it overall useful and constructive. My Review can be found by clicking HERE.
Purchase: Westminster | Amazon
Thanks for pointing out the beginner level resources. That’s my speed!
Lol that’s where it all begins! Had a good thanksgiving?
We had a good one, thanks! Ate way too much and had a nice time with our oldest son and his brood. How about you?
Did a couple of hours of yardwork today but now it’s R&R!
We had Thanksgiving with my in-laws during the day and we went to our church’s evening dinner and thanksgiving testimony at night. It’s our church tradition because of the immigrant families we have
Sounds like a blessed time. I appreciate the long weekend for some R&R.
Reblogged this on Talmidimblogging.
