You are very good.

Certanly you read Ratzinger yet and Pope John Paul II, and St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Agostin. Why are you not catholic?

God bless you.

I have been listening to the Reasonable Faith series of lectures while driving nearly every day since March. I have found it to be helpful in the solidifying of my faith and expansion of my comprehension regarding arguments for the existence of God and the truth of Christianity. I have since read "On Guard" and plan to begin the Certificate program in Apologetics through Talbot seminary. I am close to completing my paralegal degree and plan on majoring in Legal Studies and minoring in Philosophy at the University of Maryland next year. The minor in Philosophy is a direct result of my interest in becoming a Christian apologist. I thank you for the time and effort you have put into becoming such a knowledgeable fellow regarding apologetics. The teaching through your CD's has helped me with my legal studies as well.

Great! I am truly impressed with Dr. Craig, an extremely intelligent, uber educated defender of the faith with a heart for evangelism! I particularly like how he details how apologetics can be utilized for personal evangelism throughout the Reasonable Faith CD's. I have purchased the book as well, and plan to read it on Christmas break.

I come from a very liberal, secular, intellectual family. It is very encouraging to read intelligent defenses of the faith. Having been raised to believe Jesus is merely a good moral teacher and that the Bible is filled with myths mixed in with some good morality, Dr. Craig's teachings help solidify my faith and counter all that early liberal propaganda I was filled with while growing up.

Hi Dr. Craig,

I want to express my deep gratitude for your work. I have only been a Christian for 2 and a half years (I'm 24), but about 18 months ago, I went through a period of overwhelming doubt. I couldn't even open the Bible without being ambushed by a flood of nagging questions about the reliability of scripture, the existence of God, the resurrection of Jesus, etc. I finally reached the point where I couldn't take it anymore. I vividly remember telling myself that it didn't matter if I became an atheist, I just had to know the truth no matter what the cost. After a long period of searching, I finally came to the conclusion that God exists, and that he raised Jesus from the dead. This has completely rejuvenated my faith and my life, and I am currently pursing master's degrees in philosophy and theology (I'm starting at Houston Baptist University next year) with plans for a PhD in philosophy sometime down the road. I now have a desire to love God and to become more like Jesus, and a burden reach the lost. You are the main person that God used to help me see the truth. Your debates and books (esp. On Guard and Reasonable Faith) were hugely responsible in helping me remain a Christian. I will never be able to thank you enough for that.

Hi Dr. Craig.

I just want to say that you have inspired me so much, I have decided to study a degree in Christian Ministry at Harding university with a hope to specialize in apologetics. I'm 26 years old and live in southern England. As you know, Christianity has been rapidly decreasing here for quite sometime now, and I really believe apologetics is the way forward and the best chance for a revival in this country.

I find the arguments you give completely compelling and undeniable to someone who is truly seeking God and truth. So thank you for all your hard work which undoubtedly helps so many people!

Warm regards

Stefan

I would love for him (Dr. Craig) to know the huge impact he has had on my life and some fellow church members!

In him,

Dr. Craig,

First and foremost I would like to thank you for all of the work you have done and continue to do for God’s kingdom. Thank you for being obedient to the Lord’s call on your life and allowing God to bless so many of your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ through you. I am writing to let you know how much your work has blessed me, my family, my friends, and every person that the Lord elects to put in my sphere of influence.

I discovered your Reasonable faith website (and app) in the summer, and since then I have read some of your books, many of your articles, and listened to your entire defenders 2 podcasts (3 ½ years of teaching in about 2 months). I just stared over and have finished doctrine of revelation and begun doctrine of God again.
