God? by William Lane Craig

A debate between a believer and a non-believer on the existence of God. Craig uses the exact same arguments he uses everywhere, and while his style and his arguments work very well in a live debate because of his glib self-assurance, when they are written out in this format, it is much easier to see the holes. This particular debate is a little more accessible than some of the other debates Craig has engaged in with philsophers, as the language is less abstruse and dense, but the authors show more still resort to a great deal of obfuscatory language and dense philosophical prose that is very difficult for the lay person to sift through. show less
