Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, I'm your host, Catholic

Answers Apologist Trent Horn, and today I want to talk about one of my apologetic role

models and why he's wrong.

Alright, so one of the people who helped me convert from deism, belief in a generic creator

god, to Christianity was the Protestant philosopher and theologian William Lane Craig.

He's also been a role model to me for how to do apologetics.

Craig embodies the rare combination of someone who is well read and philosophy, science,

history, theology can communicate those ideas in a win some way and defend them in a debate

by being quick on his feet.

Although I feel like Catholics get into the following cycle with William Lane Craig.

Stage one unrestrained hero worship.

Oh my gosh, guys, have you heard of William Lane Craig?

He is like the greatest Christian thinker of all time.

Unrestrained contempt.

Really?
