This book is Van Til's most complete succinct introduction to his method of defending the faith. Here he presents the underpinnings of this uniquely biblical approach. Van Til shows how Christian apologetics is rooted in a unified system of scriptural truth, a worldview that encompasses all spheres of knowledge. Noting the ultimate conflict between Christian and non-Christian systems, Van Til sets forth a method of argument that centers on an all-important, biblically defined point of contact with the unbeliever. In this second edition William Edgar, a leading proponent of pre-suppositional apologetics, provides a new introduction and explanatory notes throughout the text.

What Point of Contact does the Christian have with the world in order to bring the biblical message to the nonbeliever? How can the doctrines of election and total depravity be reconciled with human responsibility and the universal offer of the gospel? Does our Lord show favor to saint and sinner alike? Restoring and retypesetting the full text of the original 1972 edition, this collection of annotated essays addresses these questions and more on common grace and its relevance to the gospel. A pioneer in presuppositional apologetics, Van Til sets forth a Christian philosophy of history; examines the views of Abraham Kuyper, Herman Hoeksema, and others; and replies to criticism. A foreword and explanatory notes by K. Scott Oliphint further illuminate his work. Book jacket.
