Tethered to the Text: An Exegetical Approach to Apologetics by George J. Zemek instant download

Originally written as his 1982 ThD dissertation at Grace Theological Seminary, this volume reflects Dr. Zemek’s humility before the text of Scripture. It illustrates his confidence that by laboring in every passage germane to the truth being explored and defended, it will yield, not a jumbled series of beliefs from various unrelated verses, but the “Scripturally reflected” theological understanding God intended for us to know and believe. Dr. Zemek’s apologetical methodology rose from the study of the biblical text. May you devour this book and come to humbly love the word of truth in the same way that Dr. Zemek did. And may these pages cause all of us to always be as he tethered to the text.

“The Word of God is living, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword—able to penetrate the thoughts and motives of any human heart. The Bible itself is therefore the most effective tool for the defense of the Christian faith. Dr. Zemek grasped this truth with uncommon clarity, and for over four decades he taught men who were preparing for full-time ministry how to defend the faith effectively, exegetically, engagingly” (John MacArthur)

“The more Van Til's emphases in apologetics can be explicitly linked to the truths of Scripture, the more Christians should recognize his approach to apologetics to be biblically and theologically grounded. Dr. Zemek, even decades ago, recognized the biblical truths that saturated Van Til's development of a consistently Reformed apologetic. He is to be commended in that recognition, especially when so many seemed to want to argue method over theology. This work is a helpful addition to the corpus of writings on Van Til and a Reformed approach to apologetics.” (K. Scott Oliphint)
