Dr. William Lane Craig

Biola Univ. (Doctorate: Philosophy, Univ. of Birmingham, Doctorate: Theology, Univ. of Munich)

“I had the pleasure of attending Joe’s teaching sessions and was duly impressed with his evident preparation, clear articulation of the issues, enthusiasm, and ability to connect with an audience of mature Christians given to critical inquiry. I have been more than pleased with Joe’s performance to date and wholeheartedly trust him with my class. People in the class have been consistently satisfied with Joe’s theological and apologetical acumen and have requested repeatedly for him to teach on various occasions.”

I look forward to connecting with you!
