In this podcast, J. Warner talks about the role of evidence in making the case for Christianity and the need for an evidential approach to Christian Case Making. Jim also responds to an excellent blog post addressing his evidential approach to apologetics. Is evidentialism a valid apologetic? What is its relationship to presuppositionalism? Can Mormons claim a valid presuppositional approach to their worldview? Jim also talks about the validity of advanced degrees in apologetics.

For more information about the nature of Biblical faith and a strategy for communicating the truth of Christianity, please read Forensic Faith: A Homicide Detective Makes the Case for a More Reasonable, Evidential Christian Faith. This book teaches readers four reasonable, evidential characteristics of Christianity and provides a strategy for sharing Christianity with others.

Jim, it would help if you got this to Glen Beck. As he affirms, I thought he might be Christian, but he recently claimed to be a Morman.
Also, a friend of mine did his PhD uniting evidentialism and presuppositionalism. It’s very dense. Dr. Max Sotak: The Apologetics of the Evangelical Rennaissance, The Quest for a General Defence.
I came to faith through Evidentialism; believing in the resurrection was almost before belief in God.
I have a book, You Bet Your Life. It has five stars on Amazon and four from Dr. Doug Groothuis. I think it combines the various approaches against a Pascalian backdrop. It has lots of footnotes.
I am no academic (HS science teacher), but they bleed into my work. I hope I hit a balance.
God bless your work,
Paul Ernst
