Title: A Good Compendium on an Important Religious Thinker
Product review: My former professor Dr. Bahnsen was certainly one of the most brilliant men I have ever met. When he debated atheists, he seemed to crush them. On the other hand, when he debated Catholic apologist Gerry matatics, he revealed his ignorance of Catholic theology and misrepresented the Church in the same way he has been misrepresented by dispensationalists and others. I must agree with an earlier reviewer who recognized Bahnsen's (and VanTil's) lack of understanding of Catholics such as St. Thomas Aquinas. In spite of this, VanTil is a very neglected writer in the philosophy of religion and Bahnsen's work is valuable to those interested in the field. VanTil is probably underrated. The transcendental argument set forth by VanTil and developed by Dr. Bahnsen and others is a beautiful thing, but should be informed by Catholic theology consistently.
