A bit of internet controversy can be a good thing. Earlier this week, Paul Copan posted a piece at the Gospel Coalition blog that has a few criticisms of presuppositional apologetics. (I’m not an expert on presuppositionalism, but even so, I could see that his punches didn’t land.) There have been quite a few responses to his post, and that makes me happy, because presuppostionalism can be hard to understand, and clarififying responses are a good thing.
I plan to link so some of these from the presuppositionalism theological term page, but in the meantime, here’s a list of a few of the recently posted resources on presuppositionalism:
- What Is Presuppositionalism? (William Edgar at The Gospel Coalition Voices)
