HBU Course on the Moral Argument | Conceptions of Divine Simplicity & Church Fathers + MORE!

Dr. Craig's JUNE Monthly Report on his studies, events, and RF.

Dear Friends of Reasonable Faith, It is so good to see summer upon us with its warm, sunny days and folks returning to normal living! Social Media Appearances May was highlighted by team-teaching a two-week course on the moral argument for God with Prof. David Baggett at Houston Baptist University. Although I have defended the moral argument for God's existence in debates with secular philosophers like Paul Kurtz, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Louise Antony, and most recently Erik Wielenberg, I had never actually taught a course on this argument, as I have on the kalām cosmological argument and the argument from fine-tuning. But Dr. Baggett, a widely published expert on the moral argument, invited me to join with him in teaching this course, and it was a privilege to do so. I taught virtually via the Internet, while Dave was on location.

While I consider myself to be an atheist, I would be interested in hearing your story if that offer is still open. Thank you, Mx." Prof. Tour recounts: "Mx and I spoke.  He agreed with everything, even regarding the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus.  He just graduated with degree in Philosophy.  And he is applying for grad school in the same.  He loves William Lane Craig's work, and dislikes the work of Sam Harris and the other new atheists.  Nonetheless, he could not bring himself to pray the sinner's prayer and proclaim the resurrection.  So odd.  Seems to me that this young man thinks that if he accepts Jesus it will be a termination of his philosophical career.  There is a cost in following Jesus, and Mx knows that.  Though he does not realize that Jesus would make him a better philosopher." This week Prof. Tour received the following from Mx: "Hello Dr. Tour. You were kind enough to speak with me over Zoom several months ago, and I just wanted to tell you that I recently (as of a month or so ago) have returned to Christianity. I came to the conclusion that the resurrection of Christ is historically well evidenced, and that was sufficient for me to believe in Christianity. Thank you for agreeing to speak with me earlier this year. READ THE FULL MONTHLY REPORT HERE
