# Even presuppositionalists need to be familiar with Alexander’s “Evidences”

Sticking with the Princeton theme of this week, we’ve recently posted Archibald Alexander’s *[Evidences](/authors/archibald-alexander)[ of the Christian Religion](/authors/archibald-alexander)* (1832)*.* Not every modern Presbyterian will agree with his approach (although check out Paul Helseth’s [*"Right Reason” and the Princeton Mind*](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596381434/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=logcollegepre-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1596381434&linkId=0ac977043d6186303e85ff740c191f63) for an “unorthodox proposal” regarding the Princetonian apologetic), but every stripe of apologist needs to be familiar with the external and internal evidences for Christianity. Alexander’s book, though written for a different era, still has much to teach Christians (and non-Christians!) today.
