Van Til's Analogical Reasoning: A Primer

In this episode, Eli offers an accessible introduction to Cornelius Van Til’s concept of analogical reasoning, a cornerstone of his apologetic method. Van Til insists that human knowledge is not univocal (exactly the same as God's) nor equivocal (completely different from God's), but analogical—that is, our knowledge corresponds to God’s truth in a creaturely way. Eli contrasts this with the epistemology of Gordon Clark, who emphasized a more univocal understanding of truth between God and man, grounded in propositional revelation and logical consistency.
