LOL. Don't look at me. It's from the article.

"Then I noted that Lewis had a writing coterie called "the Inklings." The next thing I knew, Van Til was bent over in a heap. I asked him if he was well. When he rose up, he was roaring with laughter and had a sunny smile on his face. He said, "Oh, that's funny. That's just what C. S. Lewis's theology is—it's an inkling."

I like some of the comments about Lewis on this thread. He was good, but he could have been much better if he'd gone a little deeper to discover the absolute assurance of God's promise. No inklings. 8~)

Let's not let anyone hear what I am going to say, but you are right. However, Lewis was "seeker friendly" and writing to college students and readers of his fiction, not stiff necked university Profs. Van Til was duking it out with the modernist trash and at the same time teaching "other faithful men (women) who will be able to teach others." Sort of like (shhh, now here it comes) the Warren, Hybels, Piper argument that has been infecting this forum like a computer virus or prophylactic (that's trojan for the more spiritual among us). Have you ever noticed how hard it is to be cynical when listening to Mendelssohn. I'm either going to have to turn on some Dylan or quit posting like this for the night.
