Transcendental Argument

[eutychus]

Hi,

I posted this in Apologetics, but figured I'd post it here too. I'm researching the origin and development of the transcendental argument for the existence of God. The tricky part is that I'm working backward from Van Til, maybe including Joseph Butler. Anyone help me with good articles or books?

Thanks!

i strongly recommend the book Classical Apologetics, by John Gerstner, R.C. Sproul, and Art Lindsley.

The book examines the classical apologetical position, and compares it to the presuppositionalism of Van Til and others. The major theological proofs are developed and discussed in the book, as is the balance between reason and faith.

The Late Dr. Gerstner was a student of Van Til, and had a great amount of respect for him. Lindsley and Sproul were students of Gerstner at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

Thank you...those links are very helpful. I think I'm going to just write on the topic instead of the history. I'd actually downloaded Cheung's "Sermon on the Mount" before, but had forgotten about the others. Thanks again!
