from First Baptist Dallas
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.
Dr. William Lane Craig, one of Christianity’s foremost philosophers and apologists, will debate Dr. Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine and one of America’s leading skeptical voices.
Moderated by Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg, this 90-minute national event will examine the evidence, challenge assumptions, and tackle the question directly:
Did Jesus rise from the dead—or didn’t He?
