Although I adopt Van Tillan Apologetics and Epistemology, yet I do not think Dr. Van Til helped himself with his style of writing. Thankfully, reading Greg Bahnsen makes understanding presuppositional apologetics and epistemology much easier to understand.
I would certainly classify myself as a presuppositionalist and agree with VanTil's basic views, but his style of writing and way of explaining things is confusing. He was Dutch and did not communicate well in English, so it did not help him.
