The primary academic resource for R.C. Sproul's methodology is the text
Classical Apologetics: A Rational Defense of the Christian Faith , is available for preview or borrowing on Internet Archive Course Outlines
Establishing Theism: Using natural theology and logical proofs (cosmological, teleological, and ontological arguments) to demonstrate that a Creator exists.
Sproul’s counter: The unbeliever already operates on the same laws of logic and moral intuitions as the Christian. The apologist can therefore appeal to common ground—not in terms of a neutral epistemology, but in terms of shared rational principles that are themselves dependent on the God of Scripture. Thus, classical arguments are not “neutral” but rather demonstrate that atheism is rationally self-defeating.
