The laws of logic have played a consistent role in Reformed apologetics in the past century. Figures such as Van Til and Bahnsen have often appealed to the nature of logical laws to form a transcendental argument for the existence of God. But there are still critical questions about the nature of these laws that remain unclear. Are logical laws created Or are they a kind of halfway point intersection or mediator between Gods mind and the world. When one talks about a contradiction that person can mean a variety of different things depending on the context e.g. an inconsistency in the character of God a disagreement of propositions a conflict with revelation and human reason, etc. The same goes for logic and laws of logic. In short, the average Christian or seminary student is faced with questions and confusion on this subject and there is a need for clarification.
