Owen Anderson is Assistant Professor of Integrative Studies at Arizona State University.
Anderson's book is an admirable history and discussion of the
issues surrounding Reformed apologetics for the last 250 years. His
analysis and evaluations are well worth considering by those on all
sides of the controversies.
*Dr. John Frame, author of Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His
Thought*
Dr. Owen Anderson has ably analyzed the epistemology of B.B.
Warfield in contrast to that of Abraham Kuyper and Cornelius Van
Til. He has done this in order to draw attention to the necessity
of clarity and inexcusability if the claims of historic Christian
theism are to be meaningfully understood. Any thoughtful Christian
apologetic must therefore begin with showing the clarity of general
revelation in order to establish the inexcusability of unbelief. In
philosophy, this intellectual endeavor has been the domain of
natural theology. Dr. Anderson's analysis of Warfield has therefore
shown the necessity for the project of natural theology. Dr.
Anderson's analysis of recent contributors to this dialogue is
therefore both valuable and timely.
*Surrendra Gangadean, author of Philosophical Foundation: A
Critical Analysis of Basic Beliefs*
This book is written with a clarity and focus that is most welcome.
Anyone working in Reformed circles or interested in the question of
natural theology or those engaged in worldview analysis will find
it very useful and challenging.
*Religion and Theology*
Owen Anderson has done a well-rounded job in [his
book] by providing a clear understanding of the issue at hand
when it comes to the field of apologetics....Anderson was fair in
his assessment of each of the methods mentioned and offers some
good insight as to how we can begin to think more in-depth
regarding apologetics...This text isn’t only for Reformed readers
but will include very helpful insight for those outside the halls
of Reformed Orthodoxy.
