The Best Argument For God

“The Transcendental Argument (TAG) is the best argument for God!”

You may have heard this claim along keywords like “preconditions of intelligibility” and “by what standard”. However, what makes TAG so powerful is something that is beneficial for not just the apologist or the philosophically minded to know and understand – this is a way to better understand who God is and be able to communicate that to your family, children, coworkers, and nonbelievers.

We’ll help break down John Frame’s breakdown of TAG and see if we don’t get broken down along the way.
