Faith Supported by Evidence

Dear Dr Craig, In many conversations with atheists and agnostics, they insist that "faith" means "belief without evidence". Virtually every atheist I've known defines faith in that way. It is like a axiom in the atheistic and infidel communities and it ...

Can an Agnostic Be a Christian?

Dear Dr. Craig, can an agnostic also be a Christian? For context, I was born in a devout Christian family that slowly fell into disarray because of various spiritual and emotional abuses. In the fallout, all of us lost our faith. Years later, as I grew older ...

Is Faith a Gift of the Holy Spirit?
