Difficult read, but helpful slightly
Format: Kindle
This book was exhausting, I guess it's because I had to read it quickly for seminary. Either way I don't think the authors intended for the audience to really follow much of what they were saying, it was more like they were in a conversation of their own inner circle, kudos for trying but please make this readable next time...
Quite frankly one of the authors I won't say who completely misunderstood presup's understanding of whether or not people can know things. I say that as an avid opponent of the typical presup circular argument.
On a positive note, I did learn that all of them share a lot in common and some of them are not different from each other at all. Presup holds in my eyes a highly admired love for the scripture which they often attempt to paint as a separate apologetic from say classical view for example, however it isn't, and always seems to be saying it's the the only show in town. Frame did do a lot of good to show that his view is not the classical presup arrogant argument, by extending commonalities with the other views, however he highlighted the truth, from my understanding, that presup is not an apologetic it at all. It is an attitude of the heart of the apologist. Presup is inconsistent when it tries to say you cannot use evidences and you don't need to when the core of their apologetic argument is an epistemological evidence. The transcendental argument at least in the way presup apologists us it is not actually in the scripture, making it an evidence of philosophy outside the bible. This of course undermines everything they are complaining about in the other camps.
