William Lane Craig

William Lane Craig (born August 23, 1949) is an American analytic philosopher[5] and Christian theologian, apologist, and author.[6] He is Professor of Philosophy at Houston Baptist University and Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology (Biola University)[7]. Craig has updated and defended the Kalam cosmological argument for the existence of God.[8][9][10][11][12] He has also published work where he argues in favor of the historical plausibility of the resurrection of Jesus.[13] His study of divine aseity and Platonism culminated with his book God Over All.[14][15] Craig has formally debated the existence of God (and related topics such as the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus) with many prominent figures, including: Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Lawrence M. Krauss,[8] Lewis Wolpert, Antony Flew, Sean Carroll, Sir Roger Penrose, Peter Atkins, Bart Ehrman, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Paul Draper, Gerd Lüdemann and A. C. Grayling.[16] William Lane Craig established and runs the online apologetics ministry ReasonableFaith.org.[7]

Early life and education

Craig was born August 23, 1949, in Peoria, Illinois to Mallory and Doris Craig.[17][18] While a student at East Peoria Community High School (1963–1967),[19] Craig competed in debate and won the state championship in oratory.[20][8] In September 1965, his junior year, he became a Christian,[21][22][23] and after graduating from high school, attended Wheaton College, majoring in communications.[24][8] Craig graduated in 1971 and the following year married his wife Jan, whom he met on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ.[24][25] They have two grown children and reside in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.[25] In 2014, he was named alumnus of the year by Wheaton.[24]

In 1973 Craig entered the program in philosophy of religion at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School north of Chicago, where he studied under Norman Geisler.[26][27][8] In 1975 Craig commenced doctoral studies in philosophy at the University of Birmingham, England,[28] writing on the cosmological argument under the direction of John Hick.[29][8] He was awarded a doctorate in 1977.[30] Out of this study came his first book, The Kalam Cosmological Argument (1979), a defense of the argument he first encountered in Hackett's work.[8] Craig was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship in 1978 from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation [31] to pursue research on the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus under the direction of Wolfhart Pannenberg at the Ludwig-Maximillians-Universität München in Germany.[28][32][31][8][26] His studies in Munich under Pannenberg's supervision led to a second doctorate, this one in theology,[24][8] awarded in 1984 with the publication of his doctoral thesis, The Historical Argument for the Resurrection of Jesus During the Deist Controversy (1985).[33][34]

Career

Craig joined the faculty of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1980, where he taught philosophy of religion until 1986.[35] In 1982 Craig received an invitation to debate Kai Nielsen at the University of Calgary, Canada, on the question of God's existence.[36] Encouraged by the reception,[36] Craig has since debated many philosophers, scientists, and biblical scholars.[37][8]

After a one-year stint at Westmont College on the outskirts of Santa Barbara, Craig moved in 1987 with his wife and two young children back to Europe,[38] where he was a visiting scholar at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Louvain) in Belgium until 1994.[38][39] At that time, Craig joined the Department of Philosophy and Ethics at Talbot School of Theology in suburban Los Angeles as a research professor of philosophy, a position he currently holds,[21][7][40] and he went on to become a professor of philosophy at Houston Baptist University in 2014.[7][40] In 2016, Craig was named Alumnus of the Year by Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.[41] In 2017, Biola created a permanent faculty position and endowed chair, the William Lane Craig Endowed Chair in Philosophy, in honor of Craig's academic contributions.[42]

Craig served as president of the Philosophy of Time Society from 1999 to 2006.[43][44] He helped revitalize the Evangelical Philosophical Society and served as its president from 1996 to 2005.[8]

In the mid-2000s,[45][46] Craig established the online Christian apologetics ministry ReasonableFaith.org.[7]

Regarding his written work, Craig has authored or edited over thirty books and almost two hundred articles published in professional philosophy and theology journals,[47][48] including the following, highly-ranked,[49] journals: British Journal for the Philosophy of Science,[50] Philosophy and Phenomenological Research,[51][52] Philosophical Studies,[53] Australasian Journal of Philosophy,[54][55][56][57] Faith and Philosophy,[58] Erkenntnis[59][60] and American Philosophical Quarterly.[61]

Philosophical and theological views

Kalam cosmological argument
See also: Kalam cosmological argument

Craig has written and spoken in defense of a version of the cosmological argument called the Kalam cosmological argument.[lower-alpha 1][63][64] While the Kalam originated in medieval Islamic philosophy, Craig added appeals to scientific and philosophical ideas in the argument's defense.[8] Craig's work has resulted in contemporary interest in the argument, and in cosmological arguments in general.[65][66][67]

Craig formulates his version of the argument as follows:

  1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence.[lower-alpha 2]
  2. The universe began to exist.
  3. Therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence."[62][65]

Craig's defense of the argument mainly focuses on the second premise,[69][70] and he offers several arguments to support it. For example, Craig appeals to Hilbert's example of an infinite hotel to argue that actually infinite collections are impossible, and thus the past is finite and has a beginning.[71][72][73] And, in another argument, Craig says that the series of events in time is formed by a process in which each moment is added to history in succession. According to Craig, this process can never produce an actually infinite collection of events, but instead produces only a potentially infinite one. On this basis, he argues that the past is finite and has a beginning.[74][75][65]

Craig also appeals to various physical theories to support the argument's second premise, such as the standard Big Bang model of cosmic origins and certain implications of the second law of thermodynamics.[65][8][71]

The Kalam argument concludes that the universe had a cause, but Craig further argues that the cause must be a person.[62] First, he says that the cause of the universe is outside of time, as it causes the beginning of time itself. He then says that causes that are outside of time only have eternal effects if they are non-personal. Given his acceptance of the Kalam argument for a non-eternal universe, he concludes that the cause of the universe must be personal.[76]

Craig's arguments to support the Kalam argument have been discussed and debated by a variety of commentators[77][78] including philosophers Adolf Grünbaum,[79] Quentin Smith,[80][81] Wes Morriston,[82][83] and Graham Oppy.[84]

Molinism

Craig is a proponent of Molinism, an idea first formulated by the Jesuit theologian Luis de Molina according to which God possesses foreknowledge of which free actions each person would perform under every possible circumstance, a kind of knowledge that is sometimes termed "middle knowledge."[85] Protestant-Molinism, such as Craig's, first entered Protestant theology through two anti-Calvinist thinkers: Jacobus Arminius and Conrad Vorstius.[86][87] Molinists such as Craig appeal to this idea to reconcile the perceived conflict between God's providence and foreknowledge with human free will. The idea is that, by relying on middle knowledge, God does not interfere with anyone's free will, instead choosing which circumstances to actualize given a complete understanding of how people will freely choose to act in response.[88] Craig also appeals to Molinism in his discussions of the inspiration of scripture, Christian exclusivism, the perseverance of the Saints, and missionary evangelism.[89]

Philosophy of time

Craig defends a presentist version of the A-theory of time. According to this theory, the present exists, but the past and future do not. Additionally, he holds that there are tensed facts, such as it is now lunchtime, which cannot be reduced to or identified with tenseless facts of the form it is lunchtime at noon on February 10, 2020. According to this theory, presentness is a real aspect of time, and not merely a projection of our thought and talk about time. He raises several defenses of this theory, two of which are especially notable. First, he criticizes J. M. E. McTaggart's argument that the A-theory is incoherent, suggesting that McTaggart's argument begs the question by covertly presupposing the B-theory. Second, he defends the A-theory from empirical challenges arising from the standard interpretation of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (SR). He responds to this challenge by advocating a neo-Lorentzian interpretation of SR which is empirically equivalent to the standard interpretation, and which is consistent with the A-theory and with absolute simultaneity. Craig criticizes the standard physical-world interpretation of SR on the grounds that it is based on a discredited positivist epistemology. Moreover, he claims that positivism is inconsistent with the appeal to SR made by these opponents of the A-theory.[90][91][92]

Divine eternity

Craig argues that God existed in a timeless state causally prior to creation[92], but has existed in a temporal state beginning with creation, by virtue of his relationship with tensed facts and his interactions with events.[93]. He gives two arguments in support of that view. First, he says that, given his tensed view of time, God cannot be timeless once he has created a temporal universe, since, after that point, he is related to time through his interactions and through causing events in time[93]. Second, Craig says that as a feature of his omniscience, God must know the truth related to tensed facts about the world, such as whether the statement "Today is January 15th" is true or not or what is happening right now.[94][91][95][96][lower-alpha 3]

Resurrection of Jesus

Craig has written two volumes arguing for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, The Historical Argument for the Resurrection of Jesus (1985)[13][97] and Assessing the New Testament Evidence for the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus (3rd ed., 2002).[98][99] In the former volume, Craig describes the history of the discussion, including David Hume's arguments against the identification of miracles. The latter volume is an exegetical study of the New Testament material pertinent to the resurrection.

Craig structures his arguments for the historicity of the resurrection under 3 headings:[100]

  1. The tomb of Jesus was found empty by a group of his female followers on the Sunday after his crucifixion.[101]
  2. Various individuals and groups experienced appearances of Jesus alive after his death.
  3. The earliest disciples came to believe that God had raised Jesus from the dead despite strong predispositions to the contrary.

Craig argues that the best explanation of these three events is a literal resurrection [102] He applies an evaluative framework developed by philosopher of history C. Behan McCullagh[103] to examine various theoretical explanations proposed for these events. From that frame work, he rejects alternative theories such as Gerd Lüdemann's hallucination hypothesis, the conspiracy hypothesis, and Heinrich Paulus or Friedrich Schleiermacher’s apparent death hypothesis as lacking explanatory scope, explanatory power, and sufficient historical knowledge.[104] [105]

Divine aseity

Craig has published on the challenge posed by platonism to divine aseity or self-existence.[106] Craig rejects both the view that God creates abstract objects and that they exist independently of God.[107] Rather, he defends a nominalistic perspective that abstract objects are concepts rather than ontologically real objects.[108] Stating that the Quine–Putnam indispensability thesis is the chief support of platonism,[109] Craig criticizes Willard Van Orman Quine's naturalized epistemology and confirmational holism, rejecting the idea that using a concept like the number “1” commits you to believing that a thing called “1” actually exists independent of the objects you are referencing. [110][111]

Craig favors a more neutral interpretation of the use of concepts like formal quantifiers of first-order logic where a statement can be true, even if there isn’t an object it is referencing. Craig gives the example of the statement “the price of the ticket is ten dollars” which he argues can still be a true statement even if there isn’t an actual object called a “price.” [112] [113] He defines these references as a speech act rather than a word-world relation, so that singular terms may be used in true sentences without commitment to corresponding objects in the world.[114] Craig has additionally argued that even if one were to grant that these references were being used as in a word-world relation, that fictionalism is a more coherent explanation of their use; in particular pretense theory, according to which statements about abstract objects are expressions of make-believe, imagined to be true, though literally false.[115]

Other views

Craig is a critic of metaphysical naturalism,[116] New Atheism,[117] and prosperity theology,[118] as well as a defender of Reformed epistemology.[119] He also states that a confessing Christian should not engage in homosexual acts.[120][121][122][123] Craig maintains that the theory of evolution is compatible with Christianity.[124][125] Craig is not convinced that the "current evolutionary paradigm is entirely adequate" to explain the emergence of biological complexity, and he is inclined to think that God had to periodically intervene to produce this effect.[126][127] He is a fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture[128] and was a fellow of the International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design.[129] In his debate with Paul Helm, Craig explains that he would call himself an "Arminian" "in the proper sense."[130] Furthermore, he has explained himself as a Wesleyan or Wesleyan-Arminian.[131]

As a non-voluntaristic divine command theorist, Craig believes God had the moral right to command the killing of the Canaanites if they refused to leave their land, as depicted in the Book of Deuteronomy.[132][133] This has led to some controversy, as seen in a critique by Wes Morriston.[134][135] The prominent atheist Richard Dawkins has repeatedly refused to debate Craig, and he has given what he calls Craig's defense of genocide as one of his reasons for doing so.[136][137]

Craig has also proposed a neo-Apollinarian Christology in which the divine logos stands in for the human soul of Christ and completes his human nature.[138]

Reception

According to Nathan Schneider, "[many] professional philosophers know about him only vaguely, but in the field of philosophy of religion, [Craig's] books and articles are among the most cited".[8] Fellow philosopher Quentin Smith writes that "William Lane Craig is one the leading philosophers of religion and one of the leading philosophers of time."[139] In 2016, The Best Schools named William Lane Craig among the 50 most influential living philosophers.[140]

With respect to his debating skills, Sam Harris once described Craig as "the one Christian Apologist who seems to have put the fear of God into many of my fellow atheists".[8]

Notes
  1. Craig's own version of the Kalām argument is succinct: 1. 'Everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence.' 2. 'The universe began to exist,' i.e., the temporal regress of events is finite. 3. 'Therefore the universe has a cause of its existence' Following Ghazali, Craig argues that this cause must be a personal will. Nothing but the arbitrary choice of a free agent could account for the fact that the world was created at one time rather than another, or (if time comes into being with the first event) for the fact that the first event did not have a predecessor.[62]
  2. In his later work, Craig prefers to use a more specific version of the first premise; as he puts it: "Suffice it to say that I now prefer to reformulate the causal premise: 'If the universe began to exist, then the universe has a cause of its beginning.'[68]
  3. When Craig says that God is timeless "prior to" the creation of time, the relevant notion of priority is not supposed to be temporal, as there is no time temporally prior to the first moment of time. Rather, Craig means to suggest that God is prior to time in some non-temporal sense that is difficult to specify, and which involves the idea that God was the cause of the universe. Several philosophers have argued that Craig's notion of non-temporal priority is not clear.[94][95][96]
