Van Til unpacks Paul's message in 2 Corinthians 2 concerning true wisdom and the glorious triumph of the cross.

Van Til contrasts biblical Christianity with modernity's "practical atheism," which tries to substitute science for prayerful worship of the true God.

Van Til applies three points of Kantian philosophy to Post-Kantian thought, grounding them in Genesis 3. These include (1) the principle of autonomy, (2) the pure contingency of the world, and (3) man's rational capacity. These points are addressed fully only in Christ.

Van Til paints with a broader brush in this lecture, moving from Greek philosophy, to medieval, to modern. Throughout, he argues that man's autonomy and brute rationality have been unable to account for truth or certainty in any coherent way.

Van Til continues discussing the widespread embrace of Karl Barth and his theology built on the foundation of Immanual Kant.

Van Til explores medieval theology and the concept of the "analogy of being" that underlies the thought of Greek philosophy and Thomas Aquinas. Once again, this contrasts with the biblical notion of the Creator-creature distinction.

Van Til explains the biblical and pauline basis for apologetics and evangelism before contrasting it with Greek philosophy and ethics. He also engages with Plotinus and Augustine as they were appropriated in the Middle Ages in pursuit of natural and negative theology.

This second lecture that Dr. John Murray gives on the doctrine of man considers the effects of sin on man as body and spirit.
