Van Til and Berkhof call for biblically sound Christian education that is self-consciously engaged in the spiritual battle for the minds of students.

Christian Books & Bibles

P&R Publishing

In this work Cornelius Van Til responds to three books which were published (in the late 1950's) to give Christians three viewpoints of contemporary Christianity. It was written with the twofold purpose of showing a) that the positions of William Hordern in The Case for a New Reformation Theology and L. Harold DeWolf in The Case for Theology in Liberal Perspective, really represent the same view, which may be called the non-Biblical view and b) that the position of Edward John Carnell in The Case for Orthodox Theology, while seeking earnestly to present the Biblical point of view, does not do it at all adequately. Van Til goes on to demonstrate that there are really only two points of view, not three, between which Christian's must choose. Chapter 4 presents Calvinism's message of Christianity, more than any other form of Protestantism, as the clearest challenge to the wisdom of the world. Van Til says, "It is not our purpose in this chapter to discuss Calvinism from any other point of view except that of its ability or inability to bring the challenge of the gospel of Christ to modern man." 154 Pages. Published 1979. About the Author: Cornelius Van Til (1895-1987) was professor of Apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary until his retirement in 1975.

The Case For Calvinism

This syllabus claims with the historic Reformed creeds that the good is good because God in Christ through the Scriptures, says it is good. Without the presupposition of the self-sufficient moral consciousness of the triune God revealed in Scripture, man's moral consciousness would operate in a vacuum.  Part 1 deals with Christian Ethical Principles and Part II traces the development of apostate man's principle of "inwardness" or moral self-sufficiency in order to show that it has led and cannot but lead to moral chaos.

Christian Theory of Knowledge

P & R Publishing Co (Presbyter

Restoring the full text of the original 1972 work, this collection of annotated essays addresses questions on common grace and its relevance to the gospel. A pioneer in presuppositional apologetics, Cornelius Van Til sets forth a Christian philosophy of history; examines the views of Abraham Kuyper, Herman Hoeksema, and others in the debate over common grace; and replies to criticism.

Common Grace and the Gospel

All men know God, but all men as sinners seek to suppress their knowledge of God. They do this particularly by means of their various philosophical systems. This fact must be pointed out. Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? It was not till later years that I received much help in my understanding of philosophy from D. H. Th. Vollenhoven and Herman Dooyeweerd. The syllabus is offered in this second edition for the consideration of those who are interested in the spread of the "whole counsel of God."
