Cornelius Van Til: Van Til and Machen

A Morning Instruction class on Cornelius Van Til's apologetics and his relationship to J. Gresham Machen and old Princeton. The lesson asks whether Van Til's presuppositional method contradicts Machen's evidential emphasis or complements it. It traces Van Til's first published article, a critique of A. N. Whitehead in the Princeton Theological Review, and his position on the theistic proofs: natural revelation leaves people without excuse, but there is no neutral natural theology, and facts cannot be interpreted apart from God's word.
