Ministry Matters | On Apologetics

Fascinating

Great listen here. The Christian worldview truly is the biggest, most all-encompassing one in existence. And that's because the God Who has revealed Himself IS. These are 2 of my favorite seminary professors at RTS Charlotte. May our Lord bless their respective academic work & ministries to serve our Lord's church for many years to come.

Looking forward to the interview with DeYoung and Mathison.

James Anderson is easily one of the most intelligent, knowledgeable, and godly Reformed scholars I know of. 😊

I can't wait for his book on TAG! That should be awesome. As well as his contribution to the updated Five Views on Apologetics, which will presumably replace John Frame's paper in the book.

In addition I hope someday Anderson writes a good apologetics text in the vein of Frame's excellent Apologetics book. However, perhaps Anderson would think Frame's work is the gold standard and anything he (Anderson) writes wouldn't be on par. But I think if anyone can improve on Frame's book, then it'd be Anderson.

Also, even more challenging, I would love to see Anderson (perhaps in partnership with someone like Greg Welty) write a systematic philosophical theology from a Reformed (and presuppositional) perspective. There have been many systematic theologies written by many different Christians representing many different denominations, but I don't know of any major contemporary or modern Christian systematic philosophical theology let alone one from a Reformed perspective. The closest is perhaps William Lane Craig's forthcoming multi-volume systematic philosophical theology, but of course Craig is not Reformed, but a Molinist (to name only one big difference Craig would have with traditional Reformed theology). In any case, it's my hope Anderson +/- other Reformed scholars will write this systematic philosophical theology someday, if the Lord grants him the time and opportunity to do so, which I pray he does. Certainly the Lord has already granted Anderson the intellectual gifts or talents necessary for such a monumental undertaking. 😊

I am very enthusiastic about continuing my studies at RTS Charlotte, but I don't have the money; Can RTS Charlotte provide opportunities for me? Dr. Cornelius Van Til has had so much influence on the way I think about truth and I'm glad Dr. James Anderson is still continuing the legacy. The Triune God is merciful always🙏🛐
