Christmas Recommended Books on Presuppositional Apologetics for 2019

November 29, 2019 by SLIMJIM

I’m especially excited to present our annual Christmas Recommended Books on Presuppositional apologetics and Van Til’s apologetics. That is because this is our blog’s tenth year in which we post our recommendations of books as Christmas gifts on the subject of Presuppositional apologetics or the Christian worldview!

Below are links to the recommendations from previous years, and if you are new to the whole thing with Presuppositional apologetics and want something introductory I highly recommend the listing from 2014 which we highlighted in bold:

This year list’s of recommended books on Presuppositional apologetics is listed below. 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:

Why Should I Believe Christianity? by James Anderson

Description: While Dr. James Anderson has written academic papers on apologetics here he writes this for the general reader and one can see how Presuppositional apologetics makes his presentation robust. My Review can be found by clicking HERE.

Purchase: Westminster | Amazon

Richard Dawkins by Ransom Poythress

Description: A Reformed and Presuppositional apologetics’ critique of pop atheist Richard Dawkins. My Review can be found by clicking HERE.

Purchase: Westminster | Amazon

Christian Worldview by Herman Bavinck

Description: Before there was Cornelius Van Til there was Bavinck, and from Bavinck’s argumentation in this book one see how this would contribute to Van Til building upon Bavinck’s insight with a worldview apologetics. This book is the first time this book was translated into English from Dutch! My Review can be found by clicking HERE.

Purchase: Westminster | Amazon

The Entire Faithful Learning Booklet Series

Description: This is a Christian, Reformed and a Van Tillian approach towards various academic subject. The publishers brought various Christian scholars from their respective field and have them write about their discipline and they wrote it in such a way that’s friendly to the general reader and yet also insightful of its relationship to the Christian faith! Subjects include political science, literature, sociology, chemistry, philosophy and music. My Review for the individual titles in this series can be found by clicking HERE.

  Thanks for seeing the efforts put into this! I know Thanksgiving yesterday is an American holiday but does Australia have something like that on another day of the year?

    Unfortunately Australia does not celebrate Thanksgiving, but of course Black Friday, Pride Day and Halloween the country does. Sad!
    Hope all is well with you and your ministry .

  Nice! I really enjoyed that sociology booklet. I’m glad you enjoyed it too! I’m encouraged to know you are a Christian readers, seems like these days people don’t read a lot, especially with my generation. As a pastor I often feel many Christians are missing out in growing more deeper with the things of God.

    Yeah, there are so many solid books for Christians out there. The younger generations just want to watch YouTube and Netflix.
