“Where Is Mama Bear?”
I purchased your set of children’s books for my toddler as a Christmas gift. Figured I’ll get her started early in theology! They have been a delight to read to my toddler, maybe because they generate more theological discussion between her parents...

“Could God Create a Morally Perfect Being?” Revisited
Question #1 In question 634 you state that "[a] morally perfect [created] being would fully approximate the divine nature." Then that such a created being is worthy of worship (which I agree with, at least as far as it concerns the being's moral nature). ...
Must We Prove God’s Superlative Attributes?
Dear Dr Craig, My question is this: how do you get from "very" to "omni"? It strikes me that the arguments for God's existence that I have come across seem, at best, to demonstrate the existence of an extremely powerful, extremely knowledgeable, or extre...
Is Mercy an Essential Property of God?
Hello Dr. Craig, I was recently reading your "Love and Justice in The Trinity" question response. Specifically you state: "My argument is that it's not enough to think of love as a mere dispositional property, the disposition to love if some other person ...
What Does it Mean to Say God Is a Soul?

Why Is God to Be Praised?
Hi Dr. Craig, I just finished watching your rematch with Austin Dacey at CSU. . . . One point he made seemed to me to be a good one and I was wondering how you might have responded to it if you had the time. His argument was as follows: 1. If God's good...

The Coherence of Theism
Dear Dr. Craig, You have often said that the problem of evil is the best argument for atheism, but I actually disagree. I think that the incoherence argument(s) is the best. What responses have you given to these arguments. There is a whole book published by ...

God and Infinity
Dear Dr Craig I am a devout Christian and I read your Q&A every week. I have read Q#323 today and I was totally surprised by it because it is basically exactly what I have been thinking about for the last couple of days. Infinity is a concept that has bee...
The Concept of God
Firstly, I would like to say that, despite the fact that I'm agnostic, you are one of my heroes. In all of the debates that I've watched, you've been the sole provider clarity and rigor to the discussion. My question regards whether or not your de...

Discord among the Trinitarian Persons Once More

Only You
Dr. Craig, I have heard it said that God loves us so much that “Jesus would have died for you even if you had been the only one that needed to be saved.” Is this true? And can we confidently say what God would do under different circumstances? I h...

Does God Like Me?
Dr. Craig, I can attest that your work has been indespensible to me in my intellectual and spiritual growth. May God continue to bless you and your work long into the future. 1. When the Bible tells us that God loves us, does this mean an affection (like the...
