No one has shown better than Cornelius Van Til that Christianity is based on neither blind faith nor "brute" facts. The evidence for God's truth is as widespread and varied as the creation itself. Yet in order to get the facts straight, nonbelievers must be challenged to forsake pre�suppositions that reflect hearts and minds hostile to God's revelation.

In this concise and readable volume, Thom Notaro brings together the often misconstrued or neglected in�sights of Dr. Van Til regarding faith, facts, reason, and theistic proofs in order to show how evidences work within presuppositional apologetics. When put to good use, factual evidences are seen to offer countless oppor�tunities to direct nonbelievers to the authority of Christ and His Word.

Thom Notaro holds two degrees from Westminster Theological Seminary. His Th.M. thesis there served as the basis for this book.
