On March 7, 2027 two leading voices with profoundly different conclusions will meet face-to-face for THE GREAT DEBATE: DID JESUS RISE FROM THE DEAD?—live from First Baptist Dallas in Texas, and broadcast into churches, student groups, and other gatherings all over the world.
Dr. William Lane Craig, one of Christianity’s foremost philosophers and apologists, will debate this pivotal claim of Christianity with Dr. Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine and one of America’s leading skeptical voices.
Moderated by Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg, this two-hour intellectual shootout will examine the evidence, challenge assumptions, and tackle the question directly:
Did Jesus rise from the dead—or didn’t He?

Dr. Michael Shermer is a leading public intellectual, science writer, and advocate for scientific skepticism. He is the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and founder of The Skeptics Society, and has spent decades examining why people believe what they believe and how evidence, reason, and critical thinking can be used to evaluate extraordinary claims.
Shermer holds a B.A. in Psychology from Pepperdine University, an M.A. in Experimental Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and a Ph.D. in the History of Science from Claremont Graduate University. He has taught at the college and university level for decades and has served as a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University.
