Is Cornelius Van Til's birthday today. The WTS Philadelphia site has some neat photos of Van Til and key quotes from his work:

Thank you for that reminder and the link.

It's good to know that I share the day with someone other than the cultural idols of Bing Crosby, James Brown, & Frankie Valli. Now I have the Grease theme song in my head...

The photos of Cornelius Van Til publicly preaching the gospel on a street corner in his 70's (maybe 80's) is convicting.

Thank you for the reminder, I especially like the photo of him teaching with the Creator-creation distinction outlined on the chalkboard.

Truly a treasure to the Church. He was born a month after my grandfather. I've been listening to lectures by him on iTunes lately and he was such a joy to listen to.

 

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

I have found the lectures to be a real joy. The man had quite a sense of humor.

Amen to that, Ben. I note the Ebenezer Erskine quote below your signature is quite apropos to the Van Til picture.
