Van Damme vs. Van Til (aka Van Til – An Apology)

The famous action figure was raised Roman Catholic.  Of course the big apologist in the #RCC world is the “Angelic Doctor” Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274).  In definite contrast to Aquinas’ tactics is Van Til’s presuppositional approach.

Cornelius Van Til was a Christian apologist who moved from the Netherlands to Indiana at a young age and was educated at Calvin College and Princeton. He taught at Westminster Theological Seminary for 43 years. He studied under Louis Berkhof at Calvin Theological Seminary. He taught Apologetics at Princeton Theological Seminary for one year! Van Til was Apologetics Prof at Westminster (Philly) from 1929, when it was founded, till 1972.  That is, Van Til 1972‼

Any fact must be based on the axioms of the Trinity, the Bible is true and Christianity if real.  Unless we look at life through a Christian worldview, nothing makes ultimate sense.
