Van Til delves deeper into the thought of Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato, showing how important it is to maintain the Creator-creature distinction.

Van Til dives into volumes 1-3 of Barth's Church Dogmatics, exploring how Barth uses orthodox language with an entirely different meaning.

Van Til compares Christian philosophy to the ancient Greek idea that man and God are on the same level, each related to general concepts such as "being" or "the good."

Van Til explores the thought of Immanuel Kant and his approach to knowledge through the mind imposing categories on the raw material of reality. He once again points out how this approach presupposes man's autonomy and the rebellion against God's revelation of himself.

Van Til goes further in his critique of Emil Brunner and Karl Barth's view of revelation and Scripture. He shows that neo-orthodox theologians identify God as only his act, that who God is must only be what God does, especially what God does for us in Christ. This undermines the doctrine of Scripture and all traditional teachings of orthodoxy.

Continuing his critique of Barth, Van Til develops a response to Emil Brunner. He focuses here on the neo-orthodox understanding of God's Word and the subject-object relationship of orthodox faith, which Brunner criticises.

Van Til responds to the popular "God is dead" claim in mainstream media, along with its liberal theological supporters. He affirms the biblical response of man's creaturehood and his submission to God's authority. He shows again how prevalent the notion of autonomy is to ancient and modern thought.

Van Til explores Greek thought in more detail, showing the tendency for philosophers to reject the Creator-creature distinction and assume autonomy and neutrality in thinking.
