FTNCI 030: Presuppositional Apologetics vs. Common Sense and Logic

Why should Christians reject the presuppositional apologetics of Van Til, Bahnsen, Frame, and other Presuppositionalists? That’s the topic of our latest episode. At FTNCI, we have made many criticisms against Presuppositional Apologetics. (You can find the links below.) The main Presuppositionalist claims raise severe concerns to those who affirm Classical Foundationalism. Within the Presuppositionalist school of thought, it is difficult to find helpful definitions. Many Presuppositionalists do not seem to have a clear idea of what they believe. We aim to help people escape that confusion by challenging them to do the work to better define their views.
