Q&A: clarifying a common misunderstanding of presuppositionalism

A questioner asked whether the transcendental argument for God (TAG) can supplement classical apologetics. Winger clarifies: TAG is not presuppositionalism. Presuppositionalism holds that God must be assumed as a starting point; TAG is only used within presuppositionalism to explain why assuming God makes sense. Using TAG as an argument for God within classical or evidential apologetics is fine, but that is not what presuppositionalism claims to be doing.
