“Admittedly, Dr. Craig and I have developed some disagreements on certain theological positions, some of which may grow stronger over time; however, disagreements with someone does not mean they have not influenced your life’s journey, and Dr. Craig has certainly done that. I started listening to his work as a young philosophy undergrad searching for truth about God’s existence, then I started accessing his work as a young Christian seeking orthodoxy. His arguments and positions were great launching points for search for God and orthodox Christianity, and I put both my positions and his through the intellectual ringer.
Apart from that, the charity he gives to his opponents is something to be mimicked. He is quick to accept correction on a position when he misunderstands his opponent (Sir Roger Penrose comes to mind). And his courage to take an honest intellectual approach to touchy and passionately-argued theological topics is an inspiration (the historical Adam and Eve). I look forward to more from Dr. Craig, and am grateful for the work he’s done for the faith, as it has pushed me forward in my young adulthood.”
