Leaving A Legacy: The Bahnsen Project

9/17/2020

Picture
​The Bible tells us to remember those who spoke the Word of God to us, to "consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith" (Heb. 13:7).

Today marks what would have been the 72nd birthday of Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen. It seems a great day to consider his way of life and imitate his faith.

​While not many within the evangelical church are aware of who he is, as a church we are still benefiting from his work in the ministry during his short time here - specifically in his work in Christian apologetics, philosophy, and ethics.
The phrase "presuppositional apologetics" might be lost on many in the church, but its method and use has continued to increase in popularity even today. Dr. Bahnsen didn't develop the method but he did give it teeth, as demonstrated remarkably in his formal debate ("The Great Debate: Does God Exist?") with Gordon Stein as well as several other debates.

Yet he not only demonstrated this method of defending the faith, but taught it to thousands in the church. And his legacy continues today through various means.
While I have my own project in passing Dr. Bahnsen’s legacy on to another generation by converting several of his lectures into book format, there is another project from a separate ministry for which I highly recommend your support in both prayer and funds. Their goal is to make all of his “audio lectures, courses, syllabi, and position papers available to the public free of charge." You can find out more about it here: https://bahnsenproject.com

Please do yourself a favor - do the church a favor - if you haven't heard of Dr. Bahnsen, acquaint yourself with him. Listen to one of his lectures, sermons, or debates, or read one of his books. You won't walk without having grown in your understanding of the Scriptures.
[T]here is another project from a separate ministry for which I highly recommend your support in both prayer and funds. Their goal is to make all of [Dr. Bahnsen's] “audio lectures, courses, syllabi, and position papers available to the public free of charge."

​You can read about it more here:

While not an exhaustive list of his books, his works include (some published post-humously):
  • Always Ready: Directions for Defending the Faith
  • By This Standard: The Authority Of God's Law Today
  • Five Views on Law and Gospel (Contributor)
  • Foundations of Christian Scholarship (Contributor)
  • God and Politics: Four Views on the Reformation of Civil Government (Contributor)
  • Homosexuality: A Biblical View
  • House Divided: The Breakup of Dispensational Theology (with Kenneth Gentry)
  • Inerrancy (Contributor)
  • No Other Standard: Theonomy and Its Critics
  • Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended (Edited by Joel McDurmon)
  • Theonomy: An Informed Response (Contributor)
  • Theonomy in Christian Ethics
  • Van Til's Apologetic: Readings and Analysis
  • Victory in Jesus: The Bright Hope of Postmillennialism

Consider reading one of them. And maybe even more importantly please, please consider supporting my friends over at the Bahnsen Project ministry to help make his lectures free of charge for all.
