Van Til and Barth
The group continues their discussion of Cornelius Van Til by examining Van Til’s critique of the theology of Karl Barth. Van Til’s two books The New Modernism and Christianity and Barthianism were extremely influential in developing an understanding of Barth among English-speaking theologians. The discussion brings the critique to the foreground particularly in the light of Barthianism’s dominance in the current evangelical landscape.

Do any of you have copies (audio or hard copy) of Bruce McCormack acknowledging that Van Til read Barth correctly?
I’m currently involved in a small reading group with a Barthian who brought T.F. Torrance’s essay “Theological Persuasion” from the book “God & Rationality” for us to read today.
