Presuppositional Apologetics In Debate

By C.L. Bolt ⋅ June 16, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

Nick Norelli recently wrote: “I think the thing is that plenty of presuppositionalists debate (look at James White who debates like every other day) and I’m sure they employ their method, but I think it lends itself to certain subjects better than others.” As Nick mentioned in his response to someone concerning the apparent absence [...]

Absurdity In Atheism And Incredulity Concerning Inquiry

By C.L. Bolt ⋅ January 11, 2010 ⋅ 44 comments
