  Sean McDowell — January 29, 2018

  The transgender debate is threatening to rip apart our culture. And it is raising a deep divide within the church. How should Christians respond?

  Weekly Q & A with Dr. William Lane Craig

  William Lane Craig — January 19, 2018

  This is the weekly Q & A blog post by our Research Professor in Philosophy, Dr. William Lane Craig. Dr. Craig, First, thank you very much for your monumental service to the cause of the Christ!

It means a lot to me and to his immediate family to know that he is seeking truth and has found your ministry helpful. So I send my personal thanks! ...
