For those of you who don't know him, Dr. William Lane Craig is one of the voices at the leading edge of defending and articulating the Christian faith in our culture's public square. He speaks at college campuses, debates professors and other thinkers, and trains students, future academics, and Christians around the country.
There's a lot of good information on his website, and a section that answers a lot of neat questions (at a much more scholarly level than yours truly):
- Why does God in the Old Testament seem different than the God of the New Testament?
- Time, Relativity theory, and how it affects our understanding of divine time, and God's relationship (knowledge) of time and future events.
- Do we really have objective moral values, and can we appeal to this when we argue for the existence of God?
Frankly, some of the stuff might be just plain nerdy. He's a scholar, academic, and heavily involved in philosophy of time, historicity of Christ's resurrection, and cosmology. But if this is your thing, or you think it'll help and you're interested, wanted to let you know about him and his website. Another site that has a lot of good info is
Stand to Reason--and our church has a good relationship w/ Greg Koukl, its founder and president.
I bring up Dr. Craig because he's someone our church has a relationship with. He trains us (came a couple years ago and gave two lectures on UC Berkeley, hosted by us, "The Existence of God" and "Evidence for the Resurrection"), and we not only support him in prayer (b/c, boy it's tough doing some of those debates on the different circuits of which he's a part) but we also support him financially every month. As such, he sends up updates from time to time about how he's doing and what he's been up to, as well as prayer requests. If you're interested at all in these updates and newsletters,
let me know and I can forward them on to you.
