Product Description

Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen believed that to deal with the academics of the day and their arguments against the Christian faith, it is necessary to do battle with them at the highest levels of scholarship using their intellectual tools against them. He could quickly analyze and give direct and compelling answers to all their objections. Prior to his untimely death in 1995, Dr. Bahnsen delivered a series of lectures on apologetics at American Vision s Life Preparation Conference. These lectures are rare in that they are some of the only video presentations of Dr. Bahnsen's teachings. The week-long sessions, presented before high school and college students, set forth the basics of the Christian worldview and the biblical approach to defending the faith. These lessons have been distilled and turned into a one-of-a kind handbook on apologetics.

Bahnsen's Worldview Methodology: Comprehensive and Comprehensible
Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen takes complex issues concerning apologetics, philosophy, ethics, epistemology, etc. and presents them in clear, succinct language anyone can comprehend. It is clear from reading this book that Bahnsen had taught countless non-philosophers these subjects in an effective and appealing manner. The author demonstrates that the many contrasting non-Christian perspectives fail to deliver the rational essentials for intelligibility. He presents the varying arguments from the stream of apologetic methodology of Cornelius Van Til. Dr. Bahnsen always provided the best erudition of multifaceted epistemic notions with exactness and perspicuity.

Does it follow from the unbeliever's primary rational assumptions?
Does it cohere with human experience?
Does it furnish the a priori necessities for the laws of logic or ethical absolutes?

These are the types of probing questions that Bahnsen teaches in this transcribed series of lectures. He proves that these species of objections cannot be answered by the skeptic without presupposing the Christian worldview. The Christian is made into a logical sharp-shooter by pressing the antithesis on the non-Christian. These lessons have taken technical and complicated philosophical thoughts and made them comprehensible for the student and the non-academician. No one was as epistemically sharp-eyed as Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen and this collection defends Christian truth on a scale only he could consistently deliver.
