Over twenty years after his death, Greg L. Bahnsen continues to inspire and fascinate countless Christians. His legacy remains vital and wide-ranging. He was a towering intellectual figure, a popular apologetics lecturer and writer who galvanized a comprehensive movement around the work of Cornelius Van Til. In “Greg Bahnsen―The Man Atheists Feared the Most Life,” Mike Robinson, prolific author and respected apologist at Applied Presuppositional Press, paints a preliminary portrait of the life of Bahnsen.
This is the true story of Greg Bahnsen—one of the greatest apologists of the twentieth century – whose books for scholars and non-specialists have become much-sought theological benchmarks.
Bahnsen exhibited a genius for argumentation and debate from his earliest years. Brought up in a Christian household, Bahnsen never wavered from his faith and scripture subsequently guided all his writings. He became a vigorous champion of the Christian faith through classics such as “Van Til’s Apologetic” and through his many debate victories.
Robinson’s portrayal is of a powerful thinker who became a stirring, though brainy, warrior for our times. You won’t want to miss this fascinating depiction of a creative genius who inspired numerous scholars and apologists.
Robinson is not intimidated by Bahnsen nor overly critical of him; but he shows him a professional respect that ought to silence those who dismiss Bahnsen as a theological rogue. He points out that under its clothing of reasoned argument, Bahnsen’ theology is founded on scripture. A powerful achievement.
