Christianity Is Trending...But Is It True?

Dr. William Lane Craig, Emeritus Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, delivered this talk on May 6, 2026, at Oxford Town Hall in Oxford, England, hosted by OCCA (The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics). In it, Dr. Craig lays out key evidence supporting the truth of the Christian faith, addressing the question of whether Christianity — despite its current cultural "trendiness" — actually holds up to scrutiny. The talk ran 30 minutes, followed by a 30-minute audience Q&A session, moderated by OCCA speaker Alanzo Paul.

Is belief in God intellectually defensible or just wishful thinking? In this classic interview with John Ankerberg, Dr. William Lane Craig lays out five lines of evidence he's used for decades to make the case for God's existence against atheism and agnosticism. Whether you're a skeptic, a seeker, or a believer looking to sharpen your own case, this episode is a compact tour of the arguments that have shaped Dr. Craig's public ministry.

Dr. William Lane Craig gives a lecture on a classic Christian controversy, explaining historical positions and biblical perspectives on the nature of Christ.

Philosopher and theologian Dr William Lane Craig tackles one of the deepest questions of the human condition: is faith in God rationally defensible, or just a comforting illusion we cling to because the truth feels unbearable? Speaking to a packed Oxford Town Hall, Craig moves from the honest doubts of thinkers like Bertrand Russell through the cosmological and fine-tuning arguments for a Creator, into the historical case for Jesus's resurrection — before opening the floor to audience questions on suffering, moral truth, and how to know if our hearts are truly open to the evidence. A rigorous look at why belief in God still makes sense in a sceptical age.

Where did reality come from, where is it heading, and does any of it have meaning? Host Jack Symes puts Dr. William Lane Craig in conversation with three strikingly different thinkers: Hindu scholar Jessica Frazier, philosopher Philip Goff, and agnostic thinker Joe Folley — recorded live with support from the John Templeton Foundation.Dr. Craig argues that God is the best explanation for the universe, morality, and human purpose. Frazier challenges Western assumptions about God, matter, and consciousness. Goff opens up about mystical experience, psychedelics, suffering, and his unexpected journey toward a form of theism. And Folley questions whether meaning needs to be objective at all.A wide-ranging debate spanning God, atheism, morality, consciousness, and the story of everything — this episode gives you Craig at his best, testing his case against some of the sharpest and most unconventional voices in philosophy of religion today.Note: this episode contains occasional strong language and adult phrasing, and may not be suitable for all listeners under 18.

Dr. William Lane Craig tackles some of the most controversial questions concerning the first book of the Bible. Was Adam a real, historical person? If so, who was he and when did he live? Drawing on his book In Quest of the Historical Adam, Dr. Craig argues that Genesis 1–11 is best read as "mytho-history": grounded in real people and events, yet told in the figurative, symbolic language of ancient Near Eastern myth — not unlike the way the Psalms or apocalyptic literature aren't meant to be taken literally.Dr. Craig makes the case that Adam and Eve must predate not only Homo sapiens but Neanderthals, whom he argues were fully human, tool-making, dead-burying persons, placing a historical founding couple as far back as 750,000 years ago, among the species Homo heidelbergensis. Along the way, he addresses why he considers young earth creationism a "nightmare scenario" for reconciling faith and science, why the doctrine of original sin doesn't require what most people assume it does, why a real Adam matters for the authority of Scripture and the words of Jesus, and how evolution and a historical Adam might fit together through what he calls a divinely imparted "rational soul."

A panel of scholars offer their evaluations of Dr. Craig's Systematic Philosophical Theology, Volume One at the Evangelical Philosophical Society conference in 2025. In this second part, Dr. Craig responds and the panel takes Q&A from the audience.

Recorded at London’s Royal Institution in May 2026, this Unbelievable? x Panpsycast x Theora co-production brought William Lane Craig face-to-face with Alex O’Connor for a gripping conversation on God, cosmology and suffering. Dr. Craig made the case for Christian theism, drawing on the Kalam cosmological argument, fine-tuning, moral values and the resurrection of Jesus. O’Connor pushed back on whether the universe really had a beginning, pressing Dr. Craig on infinity, time, causation and the Big Bang. The discussion then turned to animal suffering. Could a loving God allow millions of years of predation, pain and death?
