I read Art Lindsley’s book “Classical Apologetics” and it is without a doubt the most influential book on my thinking outside the Bible itself. I’ve read it 5 times for the density of its content. I can tell you, if you study it, and understand it, you do not need to read any other philosophy book in order to tango with even the best of atheist philosophers and skeptical biblical critics (though for the Biblical critics, some more historical research may be necessary) but I am floored with the innovative argumentation Lindsley, Sproul and Gerstner present in that book that it is an injustice that university philosophy curriculum is not paying heed to it. It was helpful to watch RC Sproul’s video series “Defending your Faith” in conjunction with the study of that book, but I an glad to now watch Lindsley put out similar content to bring back the superiority of the Classical Apologetic in a day and age where weaker argumentations (presuppositionalism and evidentialism) are sadly getting most of the attention. Thank you Art for your work.
