William Lane Craig: Four Debates

In Arts & Letters, Christianity, Epistemology, Ethics, God, Humanities, Philosophy, Religion, Teaching on July 31, 2013 at 8:45 am

William Lane Craig, a philosopher and Christian apologist, is a member of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, which my wife and I visited regularly when we lived in Atlanta and where my parents, siblings, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousins remain members. Earlier this month, The Chronicle of Higher Education ran a profile piece on Dr. Craig. Below are four high-profile debates in which Dr. Craig participated. Enjoy.

1. Dr. Craig debates Christopher Hitchens on the Existence of God. The video has not been made available for embedding on external websites, so the best I can offer is a link.

2. Dr. Craig debates Stephen Law on the Existence of God.

3. Dr. Craig debates Peter Atkins on the existence of God.

4. Dr. Craig debates Alex Rosenberg on the reasonableness of faith in God.
