The Development of a Distinctly Biblical Worldview with Josué Reichow Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

For much of our podcast series, we have approached things from a rather Van Tillian approach in regards to our apologetic, and that is for the most part because Van Til set out to develop a distinctly biblical apologetic. But as it concerns the development of a distinctly biblical worldview, while Van Til has much to share, we would do well to turn our attention to the Dutch philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd, as Institute associate Josué Reichow explains. What is a distinctly biblical worldview? What does it entail? Where should one begin in their study?

Getting Biblical Origins Right with Calvin Smith Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

We have to get our own worldview right, and to know it well, before we can proceed to engage with, and deconstruct other religious worldviews. Every worldview consists of four main components: origins, meaning, morality, and destiny. How did everything begin? What is the meaning of everything? Is there a moral standard we are to live by? And what is the end goal of everything? In this episode we address biblical origins. If we don't get biblical origins right, then we won't get anything else right. Listen in as Institute founder Steven R. Martins interviews Calvin Smith, Canadian Director of Answers in Genesis Canada.

The Solemn League and Covenant with Dr. Michael Wagner Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

A recurring theme in our study of apologetics is the comprehensive nature of the gospel, and thus the comprehensive nature of our apologetic. This brings us into the avenue of cultural apologetics, but cultural apologetics doesn't happen in a vacuum, we are in a religious historical context, and where we are now is very different from where we were before as a society.
In this fourth episode of The Apologist, Dr. Michael Wagner joins us to explain the rich historical heritage of the West as laid out in his book The Anglosphere's Broken Covenant: Rediscovering the Validity and Importance of the Solemn League and Covenant, published by the Cántaro Institute. Wagner provides us with not only historical insight, but spiritual awareness as to our present situation, and the faith and hope we should have for the future as we seek to fulfill our missional mandate.
