“Dr. William Lane Craig, one of Christianity’s foremost philosophers and apologists, will debate Dr. Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine and one of America’s leading skeptical voices.” - RNS

“Markos teaches by example as he presents a dialogue based on a lively conversation he experienced over Thanksgiving dinner with guests of various faiths. Through stories and conversations, he helped people wrestle with their objections to Christianity. More significantly, he shows us how we can do that too.” - TGC

“While Plantinga focuses on the unreliability of reasoning if the brain is a product of blind evolution, Lewis examines the validity of logic itself if such reasoning is solely dependent upon non-rational matter.” - CPost
