In My Own Words:
Nothing really earth shattering about me. I have become a voracious reader only in the last couple of years, and my main interest is Christian literature. I am married to a wonderful woman, I attend a great church, and I enjoy serving others instead of serving myself - a complete change from the way I used to be before I started following God.

I have become a voracious reader only in the last couple of years, and my main interest is Christian literature. I am married to a wonderful woman, I attend a great church, and I enjoy serving others instead of serving myself - a complete change from the way I used to be before I started following God. I'm a happy man, not because of what I have in earthly terms but because of the outlook and sense of purpose, joy and peace that God has given me over the last few years.
I graduated from seminary (RTS-Orlando) in May 2006, and I blog:

I have generally stayed away from getting engrossed in the always contentious creation/evolution debate - mainly because I'm neither a scientist nor a philosopher and I recognize the limitations these facts have on my ability to responsibly appraise the legitimacy of each side's arguments.

This is a book written by apologists, for apologists. It is not a book whose primary emphasis is to present a meticulous apologetic for the Christian faith that everyday Christians can use and draw personal strength from, but is rather a book that debates what the best apologetic method is for going about erecting such an apologetic. As such, its use I think is somewhat limited beyond the rather small audience that likes to have discussions like this. A point needs to be made about this entire subject matter. I strongly sympathize with Frame's view that debates on apologetic method are actually pretty boring and in many instances, do not represent the best of Christianity or even… Read more

This introduction by Frame is to be commended for recognizing proper apologetic priorities - that our biggest apologetic battles should not be with other Christians over apologetic method, but with non-Christians who are outside the Kingdom. Frame refuses to play contentious games over apologetic method, choosing instead to take what he believes is the best (the most Biblical) from each approach and incorporate it into a generally presuppositional approach that emphasizes his version of the transcendental argument. Frame, following Van Til, spends a good bit of time in this book arguing that atheism in particular, and all non-Christian thought in general, is guilty of being both… Read more
