Bringing into Being Things which Do Not Exist
Hey there Dr. Craig! I've been talking with an atheist friend of mine who has issues with creatio ex nihilo. He claims that creatio ex nihilo is logically incoherent since things which exist have no causal power over things which don't exist. In other...

A Molinist Perspective on Biblical Inspiration
I have been listening to series 2 of your Defenders Class and just finished recording 4 on Revelation. In this recording you defend the Middle Knowledge perspective of the verbal, plenary and confluent view of revelation. My question is: "If we invoke middle k...

Sam Harris on Objective Moral Values and Duties

Non-Belief and Disbelief
Dear Dr. Craig, Thank you for the ongoing work you and your team do at Reasonable Faith. It has been deeply meaningful to me and has brought me closer to Christ in my search for truth. I had a question regarding the distinction between nonbelief and disbelie...
