William Lane Craig is an eminent Christian apologist, theologian, and philosopher who is probably best known for his contributions to the philosophy of religion, historical Jesus studies, and the philosophy of time. He is also a well sought after speaker and has engaged in numerous debates around the world defending the truth of Christianity.
