Dr Tim McGrew was recently interviewed by Dr
Mike Licona on his work on studying the history of Apologetics. I loved the interview. Not only did we learn more about Dr. McGrew's amazing family but how important it is not to forget the work of previous
apologists and scholars. It reminds me of how valuable the older works of scientist and engineers in their own work and not just what modern writers say what they discovered. For example, reading Einstien's papers on relativity or
Enrico Fermi's book on thermodynamics is way cooler than just reading about them in a current textbook.
McGrew shows that some of the most famous and useful literature from previous centuries have been forgotten and makes me wonder if today's great works might be forgotten in 100 years.
Be sure to visit the
Library of Historical Apologetics for more classical apologetic works.
