Throughout his long career, Cornelius Van Til―a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary and a renowned apologist―raised and discussed issues such as the authority of the Scriptures, the effects of the fall, and the existence of “common ground” between believers and unbelievers. Jerusalem and Athens opens with Van Til’s clear and simple introduction to his own thought, in which he defends the Christian’s commitment to the “self-attesting Christ of Scripture”: “I have never met Christ in the flesh. No matter, he has written me a letter.” This is followed by twenty-five critical essays (and his responses) on theology, theological method, philosophy, and apologetics written by contributors such as J. I. Packer, G. C. Berkouwer, Richard Gaffin, Herman Ridderbos, and Rousas Rushdoony.
