Cornelius Van Til- Reformed Apologist and Churchman

---

Cornelius Van Til (1895-1987)- who taught apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary for more than forty years- has -- through his teaching and writings -- called two generations of thinkers to a Christian worldview and a biblical defense of the faith. Yet- twenty years after his death- conflicting claims about Van Til's apologetic legacy abound. What most interpreters tend to overlook is his life as a Presbyterian churchman.This biography locates Van Til in the context of twentieth-century Presbyterian and Reformed ecclesiastical struggles in America- including the formation of Westminster Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church- the rise of neo-evangelicalism and American expressions of Barthianism- and post-World War II developments in the Christian Reformed Church. As Van Til spent his life "raising high the banner of the Reformed faith-" his role in these debates arose from his hopes for a church that was self-consciously rooted in its Reformed identity.
