Neither "Copernican" nor "Van Tilian": Re-Reading Cornelius Van Til's Reformed Apologetics in light of Herman Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics

This essay, presented at the September 2010 Herman Bavinck Conference at The New College School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, lays out an argument for interpreting Cornelius Van Til’s work as less revolutionary and more twentieth-century neo-Calvinist given Van Til's significant appropriations from Herman Bavinck's dogmatics.
