In episode 235 of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. K. Scott Oliphint to discuss his new edition of Cornelius Van Til's book "A Christian Theory of Knowledge." Dr. Oliphint has added many helpful notes for understanding the apologetic, epistemology, and theology of Van Til. In this episode I try to commend Van Til to an analytic audience by asking Dr. Oliphint some questions I've always had and some I think my audience has.
