I, too, am looking forward to reading it as soon as I graduate and can start learning again.

American Vision has no sign of it (even in its coming soon section) other than the catalog.

The book is excellent. Bahnsen is so good at systematizing and clarifying Van Til's otherwise abstruse language and organization. I read it while on the job at the gas station last summer. Needless to say I enjoyed my job as a result.

CT | Right, and you make an interesting point (concerning the timing of the writing of the forthcoming book relative to the one we're discussing). I'll be keeping my eye out for whenever anything materializes from AV, but won't be holding my breath. I suspect that I've got sufficient material between the works of Van Til himself and Bahnsen's Van Til's Apologetic to work with that I wouldn't necessarily buy the forthcoming one... but we'll see.
