Every Thought Captive

This is a very accessibly written book on not only the theory but also the practice of presuppositional apologetics. \\nHere, Richard hinges on the fact that unbelievers are inconsistent in their certainty and uncertainty, and exploits that for his apologetic to show positively why the Christian faith should be believed and negatively why unbelievers have no reason for their unbelief.

Pratt's aim here is to present the core of van Til's apologetic in a way accessible to the layperson who may find van Til difficult to read for its technicality. The first ten chapters provide a brief survey of van Til's thought. Chapters 11-13 illustrates van Til's suggested approach to apologetics with several examples. The last chapter is a parable illustrating how the presuppositionalist approach compares with other methods of apologetics. Pratt summary is accessible, and the illustrations show the practical aspects of those ideas.
