Muslim Apologetics: A Critique
Author: John Warwick MontgomeryToo often, contrasting styles of evangelical apologetics are discussed solely within the Christian context. In this recording the relative merits of presuppositionalism and evidentialism are evaluated by seeing their application to the argument for the Muslim view of Jesus. (1) The incompatibility of the Christian and Muslim positions concerning Jesus' nature and ministry is set forth. (2) The criteria for deciding between these two views are discussed. (3) The various Muslim attempts to defend the Islamic Jesus are critiqued from an evidentialist and from a presuppositionalist standpoint. (4) Lessons are drawn for meta-apologetics and for practical evangelical witness to Muslim believers.

Modern Theology and Contemporary Legal Theory: A Tale of Ideological Collapse
Author: John Warwick MontgomeryThis recording bridges an intellectual chasm often regarded as impassable, that between modern jurisprudence (philosophy of law) and contemporary theology. Dr. Montgomery's thesis is that remarkably similar developmental patterns exist in these two areas of the history of ideas, and that lessons learned in the one are of the greatest potential value to the other. The five-fold movement in the history of modern theology (classical liberalism, neo-orthodoxy, Bultmannian existentialism, Tillichian ontology, and secular/death-of-God viewpoints) has been remarkably paralleled in legal theory (realism/positivism, the jurisprudence of H.L.A. Hart, the philosophy of Ronald Dworkin, the neo-Kantian political theorists, and Critical Legal Studies' deconstructionism.) From this comparative analysis the theologian and the legal theorist can learn vitally important lessons for their own professional endeavors.
