Reconciliation in the Eschaton
Dear Dr. Craig We know that forgiveness is central to the Christian Life (Matt 6.12, 14-15, Matt 18.21-35). However, forgiveness does not require complete restoration of a broken relationship. I am thinking of a situation where one spouse is unfaithful. The b...
<em>Simul Iustus et Peccator</em>
Hello Dr. Craig. I saw a video where you explain our being declared righteous in God's eyes as a legal notion, and not something dependent on good works or abstinence from sin. Yet it seems to me that in the New Testament, sin is treated very seriously as...

Historical Contingency and Christian Belief
Hello Dr. Craig Many thanks for your podcasts and writing, which, though (as yet) not a Christian, I nevertheless have enjoyed for many years. It seems to me that our important choices in life are products of what we understand to be good at the time and that ...

Why Doesn’t God Terminate Would-Be Apostates?
Hi Dr Craig, I've been studying the Perseverance of the Saints and I found your paper on the subject very thought-provoking. I have been wrestling with this subject as of late and there appear to be certain difficulties with the traditional understanding ...
