 Van Til and the Ligonier Apologetic by John M.Frame
Til and the Ligonier group agree, I think, on the first question, though it is not of much interest to Van Til; but that agreement does not prejudice the answer to the second question.
But both Van Til and the Ligonier authors have had trouble maintaining consistency here, Van Til tending to forget the areas of agreement between believer and unbeliever ("in spite of themselves"), and the Ligoniers tending (as we have seen) to compromise their concept of "a completely opposite and antithetical understanding" between believer and unbeliever.
On the Ligonier view, decisive appeal to special revelation is excluded; that would be "presuppositionalism." But that means the argument must be wholly based on human sensation and reason, unaided by special revelation.

In 1758, Secretary of State William Pitt and the military Commander-in-Chief Sir John Ligonier ordered Gen. John Forbes to lead a campaign against the French at Fort Duquesne.

However, by Nov. 25, 1758, Gen. John Forbes occupied Ft. Duquesne and renamed the site "Pittsburgh" in honor of his Secretary of State and designated the post at Loyalhanna "Fort Ligonier" after his Commander-in-Chief.

In turn, John Bunyan was encouraged to write The Pilgrim’s Progress, in which he applied his imagination to a wide variety of topics affecting the believer’s spiritual pilgrimage.
John Lightfoot added, “Singing God’s praise is a work of the most meditation of any we perform in public.
That led John Owen to say, “If I have observed anything by experience, it is this: a man may take the measure of his growth and decay in grace according to his thoughts and meditations upon the person of Christ, and the glory of Christ’s kingdom, and of His love.”

 Biography of COL John Hinkson
John's son mentioned that in 1763 his father traveled to the Emerald Isle as a young man "to collect patrimony," marry Margaret McCracken, then stayed two years before returning with supplies for life in the wilderness of Pennsylvnia.
John Hinkson and James Cooper were never tried for their crime, no evidence was ever presented against them, no witnesses were ever brought forth to testify, and no legal verdict was ever rendered in a court of law.
Whereas John Hinkson the explorer entered into general history in April, 1775, his reputation as a legendary Indian fighter and frontiersman was forged in June, 1780, when the British and Indians swept down upon and captured two frontier outposts in Kentucky.

 Holly A. Mayer | From Forts to Families: Following the Army into Western Pennsylvania, 1758–1766 | The ...
Letters, journal entries, and orders from Brigadier General John Forbes's campaign in 1758 through Colonel Henry Bouquet's command of the troops in the Ohio Country to 1765, however, acknowledge their participation in the initial penetration and settlement of the old Old West, though usually in the context of noting the problems they caused.
He gave the name Ligonier to the fort at Loyalhanna in honor of General Sir John Ligonier, who served as chief military advisor to Pitt during the war, and dubbed the Raystown fortification for the Duke of Bedford, the longtime secretary of state for the Southern Department.
Fort Ligonier's shoes showed wear and tear, and their condition was not just due to burial; thus these were not the remains of a packhorse man's—or woman's—lost trading stock.

 Van Til and the Ligonier Apologetic*
Therefore, there are two questions to be resolved: (1) the metaphysical (actually tautological!) question of whether all decisions are decisions of the self, and (2) the epistemological-ethical question of what standard the self ought to use in coming to its decisions.
The Ligonier authors are quite aware of this, but they dismiss it as inconsistency or insist that Van Til’s arguments aren’t really arguments at all.
Again, it would have been helpful if the Ligonier authors had offered some response to the rather broad range of philosophical opinion (even outside Christianity) to this effect.
