Christian Apologetics
This book originated in Van Til's seminary syllabus in 1929. This went through many editions and was first published for use outside the classroom as a book by P&R in 1975. Since then, it has become a classic of apologetics theory and practice. In this edition, editor Bill Edgar adds an introduction and explanatory notes.

About the Author
Til, Cornelius Van: - Cornelius Van Til (1895-1987) was born in Grootegast, the Netherlands, and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1905. He attended Calvin College and Calvin Seminary before completing his studies at Princeton Theological Seminary and Princeton University with the ThM and PhD degrees. Drawn to the pastorate, Van Til spent one year in the ministry before taking a leave of absence to teach apologetics at Princeton Seminary. When the seminary reorganized, he was persuaded to join the faculty of the newly founded Westminster Theological Seminary. He remained there as professor of apologetics until his retirement in 1972. Van Til wrote more than twenty books, in addition to more than thirty syllabi. Among his best-known titles are The Defense of the Faith, A Christian Theory of Knowledge, and An Introduction to Systematic Theology.
Praise for this book
An enduring Reformed classic has become more accessible to students and pastors, thatnks to this new annotated edition with an excellent introduction by Westminster professor William Edgar.--Luder G. Whitlock Jr., President Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando
The appearance of this edition is most welcome. Its value is only enhanced by the editor's comments, which are invariably helpful, never intrusive.--Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary
Van Til's application of Reformed theology to apologetics is as wide and deep and rich as that theology itself. Because of its multifaceted character, his approach can only be grasped by reading him. This introductory work is the place to begin.--K. Scott Oliphint, professor of apologetics and systematic theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
