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

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.
