Quodlibeta with William Lane Craig, Barth Netterfield, and Marion Taylor

Quodlibeta with William Lane Craig, Barth Netterfield, and Marion Taylor

Quodlibeta was a practice in the medieval university where students could bring any question they wished to their professors. We are excited at the opportunity to ask three well-respected scholars questions on faith, culture, science and philosophy. This is a FREE event. No ticket purchase or registration required. About the Speakers: WILLIAM LANE CRAIG Dr. Craig is Research Professor of Philosophy at Biola University and Professor of Philosophy at Houston Baptist University. He and his wife Jan have two grown children. At the age of sixteen as a junior in high school, he first heard the message of the Christian gospel and yielded his life to Christ. Dr. Craig pursued his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College (BA, 1971) and graduate studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (MA, Philosophy, 1974; MA, Church History, 1975), the University of Birmingham (England) (PhD, Philosophy, Dissertation on the Kalam Cosmological Argument, 1977), and the University of Munich (Germany) (DTheol, Dissertation on the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus, 1984). From 1980-86 he taught Philosophy of Religion at Trinity, during which time he and Jan started their family. In 1987 they moved to Brussels, Belgium, where Dr. Craig pursued research at the University of Louvain until assuming his position at Biola University in 1994. BARTH NETTERFIELD Dr. Netterfield (PhD, Princeton) is a Canadian astrophysicist and a Professor in the Department of Astronomy and the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. He is a leading expert in the development of balloon-borne telescopes. These are astrophysical experiments that are lifted into the stratosphere by high-altitude balloons where they conduct observations that would be hindered by atmospheric interference if done on the ground. Netterfield is primarily known for his work in observational cosmology, specifically in developing instrumentation to observe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. MARION TAYLOR Dr. Taylor grew up in Toronto. Questions about how to negotiate the worlds of her faith and the academic study of the Bible pushed her to pursue an MA in Near Eastern Studies and a Master of Divinity degree from the University of Toronto. Ultimately her journey took her to Yale University where she received a MPhil, a Masters of Sacred Theology (STM), and a PhD. Under the direction of Professor Dr. Brevard Childs, she wrote her doctoral thesis on the history of Old Testament studies as they developed at Princeton Seminary from 1812 to 1929. She is currently Professor of Old Testament at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto.
