Apologetics and Exegesis

Jonathan Brack, Pierce Taylor Hibbs, and Brandon Smith

PODCAST

Many of Cornelius Van Til's critics claim that Van Til did not sufficiently base his apologetic method on Scriptural exegesis. Van Til himself acknowledged that robust exegesis wasn't as prominent in his work as it could have been. That was not, however, an admission that his method was not built on exegesis, but rather that its exegetical foundation was assumed more than it was argued. The second generation of Van Tilian scholars (Gaffin, Edgar, Oliphint, Tipton, Poythress, etc.) filled what Van Til claimed was a gap in his theological corpus by focusing on exegetical arguments for Van Til's apologetic approach. In this episode of the Westminster Podcast, Jonathan Brack, Pierce Taylor Hibbs, and Brandon Smith discuss what exegetical avenues the third generation of Van Tilian scholars ought to explore.
