A Reading Plan for Aspiring Apologists
Jared Oliphint and Jonathan Brack dropped by the studio to discuss books on apologetics. We came up with a rudimentary list of books along with a reading order for those who may be interested in Van Tilian apologetics but don’t know where to start. The full discussion will air on a future episode of the Reformed Media Review, but for now, here is our list.
- Every Thought Captive by Richard Pratt, Jr.
- The Battle Belongs to the Lord by K. Scott Oliphint
- Always Ready by Greg Bahnsen
- Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin (especially Book I – you’ll have to listen to the discussion to hear why this is on the list)
- Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended by Greg Bahnsen
- Van Til’s Apologetic by Greg Bahnsen (contains large portions of Van Til’s writings)
- Christian Apologetics by Cornelius Van Til annotated by William Edgar
- The Defense of the Faith, 3rd edition by Cornelius Van Til annotated by K. Scott Oliphint
- A Christian Theory of Knowledge by Cornelius Van Til
- Survey of Christian Epistemology by Cornelius Van Til
- Common Grace and the Gospel by Cornelius Van Til
- Introduction to Systematic Theology by Cornelius Van Til annotated by William Edgar
