Review Quotes

Within Reformed thought the 20th century will stand out as a time of exceptional work in Christian philosophy. Alvin Plantinaga has blazed an extraordinary trail and while Cornelius Van Til is less well known, his thought continues to shape Reformed thinkers. The genius of Shawn Langley in this excellent work is to bring them into dialogue with each other around their theories of knowledge. The results are intriguing and sometimes surprising, yielding fresh insights and opening the way for readers to benefit from the contributions of both thinkers. I strongly recommend this work!
