TESTIMONIALS

Back in April, Paula and I walked into Chase Gymnasium for what the front page of the next day's Whittier Daily News called "The Great Debate." Biola philosopher William Lane Craig and the popular anti-theist Christopher Hitchens, before an audience of over 4,000 on campus and thousands more watching "live" across the nation and internationally, debated the existence of God…. Biola University stood tall as we hosted what I believe to be one of the most significant events in our recent past. It was truly one of the university's more "electric" moments….I shared by letter with Dr. Craig my profound appreciation for his thoughtful articulation, his respectful demeanor, his keen intellect and his unashamedness of the gospel. This was Biola University at her best, engaging in the world of ideas without apology or cowardice.

I have so much to thank you for--your scholarship, your generosity, your website to which I routinely turn for insight, your love for Jesus. There is so much. Today, however, I want to thank you specifically for your more personal narrative on how you came to earn two doctorates. I was researching something on your site for a paper last week when I somehow came across your retelling of the story. I read it and wept. Freely. Thank you. Sincerely, thank you for sharing this so that I could share it further.

I finished my first year [teaching] at the University of Oklahoma today.  I taught intro to philosophy for both the Fall and Spring semesters. I ended each semester playing your debate with Austin Dacey (Part 1).  The students in class were so impressed with your arguments, your ability to respond charitably to Dacey's arguments (in such a short amount of time), and manifesting the true virtue of tolerance.  A lot of Christians were encouraged to see their worldview defended at Purdue and in our classroom. I was so happy to be able to refer them to your website for additional resources.  Even though I have been away from Talbot for a few years, you and your ministry are always close to my heart.  I find myself frequently thanking the Lord for all the ways He continues to use you to bless my life, in addition to countless others.

Craig has done 20+ years of Ph.D+ level research in the two fields he debates, has published hundreds of academic books and papers on both subjects, and has been debating since high school. So yeah, that's right. You are not qualified to debate William Lane Craig. Richard Carrier? Austin Dacey? Quentin Smith? Bart Ehrman? You are not qualified to debate William Lane Craig. Louise Antony? Christopher Hitchens? Eddie Tabash? You are not qualified to debate William Lane Craig. Frank Zindler? Gerd Ludermann? Hector Avalos? You are not qualified to debate William Lane Craig. "What about some people who would like to debate Craig?" Mark Smith? John Loftus? You are not qualified to debate William Lane Craig. "Okay, well, is anyone qualified to debate William Lane Craig?" Nobody comes to mind….

Let me just add that I consume LOTS of MP3s on theology, Christian philosophy, and science & religion. I get materials from…random places across the Internet, and reasonablefaith.org is the site to beat. It should be the model for all of its peers in terms of its comprehensive coverage of Dr. Craig's teachings, the structure of its offerings, interaction with its consumers, integration of Dr. Craig's personality on the site, and, last but far from least, audio quality. Your obvious commitment to audio quality pays off. (And, in my opinion, Dr. Craig and N. T. Wright are the two most engaging and listenable voices in today's public theology discourse.) My hat's off to your team for providing a top-notch – and free! – resource to a hungry public.
