 Presuppositional apologetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His student, Greg Bahnsen, aided in some of the later developments of Van Tillian Presuppositionalism, and the Bahnsen Theological Seminary continues to promote presuppositional apologetics in its curriculum.
Lewis said, he is "on the bench" and God is "in the dock." The primary job of the apologist is, therefore, simply to confront the unbeliever with the fact that, while he is verbally denying the truth, he is nonetheless practically behaving in accord with it.
Like the man in Bahnsen's analogy who breathes out air to make the argument against the existence of air, by raising the "circular reasoning" objection the unbeliever is thereby demonstrating the truth of Christian Theism, according to presuppositionalists.

 "Moses' Law for Modern Government" by J. Ligon Duncan III
Theologically, Christian Reconstructionism may also be viewed as a reaction (and in the author’s opinion, a well-meaning, but misguided, overreaction) to four prevalent tendencies in American Evangelicalism, and to what most traditional Christians would regard as general Western social decadence.
Bahnsen and Reformed theologians in general argue from the abrogation of a specific ceremonial ordinance to the abrogation of a class of ceremonial ordinances (assuming, all along, that such a class exists).
Bahnsen employs it when arguing for the confirmation of the ceremonial law, but decries it when it is used to argue for the abrogation of the Mosaic civil code.

According to the church ("Covenant Community Church"), the issues were not theological or doctrinal, and did not involve any "heresy." The charge was "slander," in that I called the Reformers of the 16th century "fascists" and linked the Session of the church to those beliefs and practices.

 Moses' Law for Modern Government:
Historically speaking, this means a functional denial (most commonly in the form of a reinterpretation) of the traditional Reformed threefold division of the law--moral, civil and ceremonial-- (cf., Westminster Confession of Faith 19:3-5) and, alternatively, the espousal of a twofold division--moral and ceremonial (or restorative).
Yet Bahnsen's argument assumes and proceeds on a readily identifiable set of "ceremonial laws." How does he recognize these?--by his assessment of their character, not by exegetical directive.
Whatever positive or negative response one has to Bahnsen's principle, it can be granted him, and his case for the binding authority of the case law still remains inconclusive-- if his argument for the twofold division of the law is not conceded to be compelling.

 Definition of Presuppositional apologetics
As of 2004, presuppositional apologetics has established itself securely as a legitimate perspective on apologetics, although its appeal remains largely limited to Christians whose theology is Calvinist in origin.
According to Frame, "[Van Til's] major complaints against competing apologetic methods are theological complaints, that is, that they compromise the incomprehensibility of God, total depravity, the clarity of natural revelation, God's comprehensive control over creation, and so on" (Van Til: The Theologian (http://www.reformed.org/apologetics/frame_vtt.html)).
Within their presuppositionalist framework, Van Tillians do often utilize foundational concepts for Thomistic and Evidentialist arguments (e.g., belief in the uniformity of natural causes), but they are unwilling to grant that such beliefs are justifiable on "natural" (neutral) grounds.

 J. Gresham Machen & "True Science", by Paul K. Helseth
I would suggest that Bahnsen missed the connection between Warfield and Machen and misinterpreted the relationship between Machen and Van Til because he based his analysis upon an endorsement of Van Til's misunderstanding of Warfield's notion of "right reason." According to Van Til, "right reason" for Warfield "is not the reason of the Christian.
That Bahnsen endorses Van Til's misunderstanding of "right reason" is clear from his insistence that Machen's apologetic was in line with the presuppositional approach of Van Til simply because Machen recognized that nothing like Warfield's notion of "right reason" is at the disposal of the unregenerate.
It suggests, in other words, that the Princeton theologians were neither indifferent to the subjective and experiential components of religious epistemology, nor overly sanguine about the cognitive powers of the fallen mind, but rather acutely aware of the fact that the unitary operation of the soul is determined by the character of the acting agent.

 The Chalcedon Foundation - Faith for All Life
Homosexuals and prostitutes, as such, should not be approached about their sinful lifestyle until after they have “received Christ.” One student, a former homosexual, criticized Jerry Falwell’s stance against sodomy, claiming that it “upset many homosexuals.” The professor agreed, arguing that such an outspoken approach caused an unnecessary stumbling block for evangelism.
The result was a widening gap between the theological and philosophical truths I was beginning to embrace and the dispensational, quasi-arminian pietism that dominated a majority of our chapel services and most of my classes.
Throughout the last of my two years at Moody, I found much-needed encouragement at the Church of Christian Liberty, where I was faithfully instructed and nurtured by several churchmen and their families.
