Is the Trinity Biblical? Is it logically sound, or total nonsense? In this important interview, I ask Dr. William Lane Craig his top 13 questions on the Trinity, such as: "If Jesus is God, and the Father is God, then is Jesus the Father?" This is one you may want to listen to a couple times to really grasp. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Jesus is God...So is the Father. Here's Why This Makes Sense.

Catholic apologist Trent Horn sits down with Dr. William Lane Craig to compare their paths from high school conversions to public debate, then turns to the argument that has defined Dr. Craig's career. Dr. Craig explains how a clearance-table copy of Stuart Hackett's The Resurrection of Theism led to his doctoral work on the kalam cosmological argument under John Hick. He also explains why he sees newer work, including causal finitism from Alexander Pruss, Rob Koons, and Andrew Loke and the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem, as strengthening the premise that the universe began to exist. The two discuss Hilbert's Hotel, St. Bonaventure's argument against an infinite past, and theories of time. Dr. Craig argues that the growing block view Trent finds attractive is incoherent.Turning to Catholic and Protestant differences, Dr. Craig offers two pieces of advice. First, he suggests reading the Council of Trent's teaching on justification as describing what Protestants call sanctification, which would make much of the dispute semantic. Second, he urges the Church to abandon infant baptism. He argues that pairing it with baptismal regeneration fills the pews with unregenerate "cradle Catholics." Trent makes the Catholic case in response. Dr. Craig closes with counsel for aspiring apologists: guard your marriage, family, and devotional life, because public success means nothing if those fail.

Trent Horn Interviews William Lane Craig: The Kalam, Conversion, and Catholicism

Dr. Craig joins Eric Metaxas on Socrates in the City for a conversation that begins with whether we can know that God exists. Why does Dr. Craig consider apathy a greater obstacle to belief than atheism? What does he think kept Christopher Hitchens from engaging the arguments? The discussion then turns to Dr. Craig's Systematic Philosophical Theology: how Scripture can be both the Word of God and the words of men, what inerrancy does and does not require, and why he tentatively places the historical Adam and Eve some 750,000 years ago, as ancestors of Neanderthals as well as modern humans.

Is the Existence of God Provable?

Can there be meaning or morality without God? And what's the real difference between God and the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Dr. William Lane Craig takes on Richard Dawkins' central argument against God, explains what it means to call God a necessary being, and answers hard questions about whether Jesus' story borrows from pagan myth, whether Christianity can be the one true religion, and how heaven can be joyful if loved ones are missing.
