Testing Christianitys Truth Claims: Approaches to Christiian Apologetics

About this book

Gordon Lewis presents the Christian position in a thought provoking and clear manner. In this fine treatment of truth claims for Christianity he marshalls a defense of Christianity that includes a presentation of the outstanding apologetic systems of the past. Major apologetic systems evaluated are the pure empiricism of J.Oliver Buswell Jr. the rational empiricism of Stuart C. Hackett the rationalism of Gordon H. Clark the biblical authoritarianism of Cornelius Van Til. the mysticism of Earl E. Barrett and the verificational approach of Edward John Camel!. Other contemporary apologists whose positions are treated include Francis Schaeffer C. S. Lewis Clark Pinnock Norman Geisler Bernard Ramm and John W. Montgomery. Though scholarly for textbook purposes. the treatment is always eminently readable. .A fine glossary of philosophical terms at the end of the book affords easy access to this material for the uninitiated student or lay Christian.
