Debates

Dr. Craig has debated scores of the most notable atheists, agnostics, and skeptics around. You can see a list of his debates here and you can find transcripts from many of his debates here.

I encourage our readers to study Dr. Craig's works. He is a brilliant debater, engaging personality, and, as Dr. J.P. Moreland has said, "he lives a life of integrity and lives out what he believes."

May the same be said for all who claim the name of Christ.

Courage and Godspeed,
Chad A. Gross
