Description: This work contributes to an understanding of Van Til and his apologetic insights by placing him within the context of twentieth century developments in North American Reformed theology, including the formation of Westminster Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, the rise of neo-evangelicalism, and American reception of Karl Barth.

* Extensive research from published sources, unpublished archives, personal interviews.
* Views Van Til’s apologetic contribution in light of his commitment to the Word and the church.

"John Muether does a masterful job of tracing the personal history of this 'father of presuppositionalism.' He also shows the inextricable link between Van Til's own call as a minister of the gospel and his task of training men for gospel ministry to be self-conscious in their apologetic method. As Muether weaves together the various strands of Van Til's life and career, one can readily see, in a way not clearly seen before, that it was Reformed theology, and not philosophy, that shaped Van Til's work as a Christian apologist. I could not put this book down."
--K. Scott Oliphint, professor of apologetics and systematic theology, Westminster Theological Seminary

"Highly interesting and engaging. Particularly helpful is how Muether sets Van Til's work in the context of contemporary academic and especially ecclesiastical debates. He presents many new angles on Van Til's life that promise to enrich our appreciation and evaluation of him."
--David VanDrunen, Robert B. Strimple professor of systematic theology and Christian ethics, Westminster Seminary California

"An outstanding introduction to the life and thought of Westminster Seminary's premier apologist. Muether writes with the spirit of Van Til's apologetic: suaviter in modo, fortiter in re --'gentle in persuasion, powerful in substance.' Read and be persuaded by the powerful impact of Van Til's gentle yet confrontational blend of vigorous thought, gracious service, and Presbyterian churchmanship. This is essential reading for understanding Van Til's unique and creative integration of the best of the Dutch Reformed tradition with the strengths of American Presbyterianism, which gave birth to presuppositionalism and continues to energize interest in worldview analysis."
--Peter A. Lillback, president, Westminster Theological Seminary
