S2 E05. William Lane Craig vs Philip Goff: A philosopher's 'slightly heretical' Christian conversion?

from The Surprising Rebirth Of Belief In God · host Justin Brierley

Agnostic philosopher Philip Goff has been on a 'surprising rebirth' journey recently. After announcing his embrace of a 'slightly heretical' form of Christianity, he says he has come to believe in a God of limited power. Renowned Christian philosopher William Lane Craig engages Goff in a conversation on the universe, suffering and Christian faith, as they debate whether a 'limited' God makes sense of science, philosophy and the resurrection. After hosting the conversation, Justin Brierley is joined by Peter Byrom for post-debate reflections on what happened during the spirited dialogue between the two philosophers.
