If there is one person that has impacted my apologetics method more than any other it has to be Greg Bahnsen. So when I saw there’s another of his contents released in book form I had to get it. This booklet is edited from an oral presentation Bahnsen presented during a debate with the late R.C. Sproul at the Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. I can’t believe how the debate was in 1977 would be put into book form in 2024 and remain relevant today forty seven years later!
Bahnsen laid out his materials in a logical matter. Yet it is biblically driven with everything he says. This is classic Bahnsen. The presentation begins with Bahnsen telling us what apologetics is not before moving to a second section that consider positive aspects of apologetics. The next section is on God’s requirement for apologetics and section four considers the method of apologetics. This is followed by a final section on not compromising during apologetics endeavors. After Bahnsen’s contents is over the booklet also have a word from the Bahnsen Institute that is currently protecting and advancing Greg Bahnsen’s legacy for a future generation. This section is written by one of Bahnsen’s friend name Roger Wagner and here he also gives us background of who is Greg Bahnsen and the context of the materials that became this book.
Dedicated Greg Bahnsen fans might not find anything new here though I do appreciate the description of Presuppositional Apologetics in a summary form in the this work. Those new to apologetics might benefit though I encourage them to read more deeper works by Greg Bahnsen after this.
