Dr. William Lane Craig recently claimed that he wants to lower the "epistemic standards" for Christian belief. His comments have sparked outrage in the atheist community. Some atheists have even claimed that his comments totally discredit his work more generally. In this video, Dr. Craig explains how his comments are completely in line with current philosophical thinking on pragmatic/epistemic rationality.

Matt 16:18 is the famous passage that says: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." The question that will be discussed in this dialogue is who the rock is referring to. Does it refer to Peter? To Jesus? To someone/something else?
