Paul's "Foolish" Apologetics
This article represents my latest thoughts about apologetics. I also believe that this is my most mature thinking on this subject. My own apologetic approach, has been slowly developing over the years. I feel that I learned a lot from Van Til and Clark as well as from Calvin and others. But what I learned from Paul, far outweighs any other teachings that I have ever received on this subject. That's why I consider this my more mature reflections on how to do apologetics.
In Paul's methodology, everything comes together. Everything fits perfectly. The concept of total depravity, and all its ramifications, together with all it's implications for apologetics , is spelled out clearly in Paul's instructions. Paul's method is not complicated like Van Til or Clark. In fact it's so simple that a 5 year old could be effective against a PhD. or Doctor of Theology. This is for me...simple and yet profound at the same time! This is from The Holy Spirit, that's why it is so wonderful, and so invincible.

Don't forget to use the "Full Screen" option, and also try the "Book" setting under the Scroll tab. It's fun, and makes reading easier. Enjoy.
