This book was written by Richard Pratt, the Old Testament professor out at Reformed Theological Seminary. Quite the well rounded professor, he wrote this work when he was much younger, for the purpose of training young Christians (high school age) in the defense of the Faith from a Van Tillian perspective. I appreciated Pratt’s effort of communicating Van Til’s school of apologetics in non-technical language. The thirteen lessons are perfect for sunday school material, and each lesson ends with several discussion questions. The book also has various drawings as visual aids, a plus for those who learn visually. The book also manage to critique popular non-Presuppositional apologetics in lesson nine, where Pratt provided a general yet gracious critique of Paul E. Little’s popular, “Why I Believe”. But the gist of the book was positive construction of the framework to engage in apologetics. The core of his apologetics methodology applied is found in lesson 11-13, and much of his attention is on the certainty-uncertainty dialectic found in the autonomous (what Pratt calls ‘independent’) man. The book close with an illustration of a hypothethical scenario of apologetics applied.

Former Muslim turn Christian apologist Nabeel Qureshi went to be with the Lord yesterday on September 16, 2017. He died after battling with a quick spreading cancer. He might be the most prayed for and most mourn Christian apologist in recent memory, seeing how Christians of various theological and apologetics’ spectrum has prayed for him and his healing and afterward mourn for his death.
I can’t help but to think about God’s mysterious providence.

I disagree with Frank Turek over many other areas but I thought this clip was helpful to strengthen one’s Presuppositional apologetics, though of course one must still be critical.
Frank Turek argues here how atheist needs God for science to be intelligible and meaningful.
