In this episode, Peter Goeman examines Craig’s arguments, his interpretation of the first resurrection, and his claim that premillennialism creates insurmountable theological problems. Does Craig’s approach arise from careful biblical exegesis, or does he allow philosophical assumptions to override the straightforward meaning of Scripture? This discussion considers Revelation 20, Old Testament kingdom prophecies, millennial sacrifices, the resurrection, and the importance of authorial intent.
