In the Arena: The Debates and Lectures of William Lane Craig

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.

Agnostic philosopher of science Michael Ruse and Dr. William Lane Craig conversationally debate one another on theistic concepts, the resurrection of Jesus, the nature of the Gospel accounts, morality, philosophy, Molinism, and more.

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.
