Toward a Reformed Apologetics? w/ Dave Filson
From The Westminster Podcast · 1:18:41
Show by Westminster Media
Can we defend the Christian faith without surrendering the very ground we’re standing on? In this episode, Dr. Dave Filson joins Brandon McLean Smith to examine Keith Mathison’s Toward a Reformed Apologetics and its critique of Cornelius Van Til. Together, they address the central questions behind the debate: Is Van Til’s apologetic grounded in Scripture? Does it leave room for evidence and meaningful conversation with unbelievers? And does it carry forward the Reformed tradition? Along the way, they consider the image of God, the effects of sin on human knowledge, and the charge that Van Til borrowed his system from philosophical idealism. Drawing on his experience as a pastor and teacher, Filson also explains how these questions shape real conversations with doubting teenagers and skeptical neighbors. At stake is an apologetic governed by the lordship of Christ, one that calls us to humility, confidence in God’s Word, and love for the people we seek to reach.
