Shortly before heading out for a 10 day Caribbean
cruise, I came across a dissertation that caught my eye:
The Apologetic Methods of Isma'il R. al-Faruqi and
Cornelius Van Til - Eric R. Dye, University of London, 2000 (LINK
to online PDF copy)
I downloaded a copy to my
tablet to read during the cruise and travel time; I also took my copy of
al-Faruqi's, Christian Ethics, finishing both before my return home last
Friday.
It had been years since
my first reading of al-Faruqi, but I know for fact that I did not back then
discern the remarkable parallels between al-Fauqi's and Van Til's apologetic
method, as uncovered and related by Eric Dye in his dissertation. But my second
reading, enlightened by Eric Dye's insightful reflections, has me wondering how
I missed the parallels during my first reading.
Anyway, though this topic
may not be of much interest to many of my readers, I felt compelled to bring it
up....
Grace and peace,
