“The Folly of Unbelief: Philosophical Illustrations of the Futility of Unbelieving Thought” is the best introductory text for Van Tilians since William Dennison’s work “In Defense of the Eschaton: Essays in Reformed Apologetics” and Dr. Christopger Watkin’s “Thinking through Creation: Genesis 1 and 2 as Tools of Cultural Critique“. I recommend grabbing this and putting older less useful works down. It will become one of the standard texts for Van Tilians to turn to. Chris Matthew also stated:
If the only item in your apologetic arsenal is the question, “By what standard?”, then frankly, you don’t have an effective apologetic.
How, then, can we present a biblically faithful, but intellectually serious, apologetic methodology? Daniel Akande, an up-and-coming Van Tilian author, has written the enchiridion for all presuppositional apologists looking to step up their game.
Traversing issues ranging from universals and particulars to mathematical relations to moral and epistemic normativity, Akande deftly vindicates the Christian worldview as the only viable system of thought capable of securing the foundations for rational thought. The author exposes the folly of unbelief in its manifold forms: naturalism, deism, unitarianism, and polytheism—all of which slay reason on the altar of chance and impersonalism.
The paperback edition will be out soon, Akande says, but you can purchase a Kindle version today.
