In this episode, Eli offers an accessible introduction to Cornelius Van Til's concept of analogical reasoning, a cornerstone of his apologetic method.

Eli contrasts this with the epistemology of Gordon Clark, who emphasized a more univocal understanding of truth between God and man, grounded in propositional revelation and logical consistency.

While Lydia and I have some important differences and disagreements, this was a very enjoyable and informative discussion, and I am grateful that she made the time to come on and speak with me.
Did I Use Reason to Discover That Christianity Grounds Reason Itself?A critic recently asked.In this episode Eli answers the question and explains why the answer is both yes and no—and why that's not a contradiction. From a presuppositional apologetics standpoint, reasoning doesn't happen in a vacuum. While reason is used, it should not be treated as autonomous or neutral. Instead, he reasons within the framework of the Christian worldview, which alone provides the necessary preconditions for logic, knowledge, and moral obligation.This isn't about finding God through neutral logic—it's about recognizing that reason itself depends on the Triune God of Scripture.
