“The End of Apologetics: Christian Witness in a Postmodern Context” by Myron B. Penner

Wow!!! :grin::grin:

In 2019 I responded to an article I read in the Evangelical Philosophical Journal. I found the email of the author and wrote him a note.

I just tracked down the email and confirmed it was Myron Penner.

So I have it in Penner’s own words:

“I heartily agree with your statement regarding philosophy (traditionally understood) not being able to answer those sort of questions.”

Which were in response to me writing:

“You had a very nice article in the EPS journal and I was able to identify meaningful similarities to my approach of showing how reason proves an ‘unknown’ mover. While I often use the cosmological argument, I will quickly admit that it does not prove whether the uncaused cause is aware of its action. Which is ultimately, I think, a question of theism and solipsism. Neither can this question be answered using philosophy.”
