William Lane Craig is an American analytic philosopher and Christian theologian. He is known for his work in the philosophy of religion, philosophy of time, and the defense of Christian theism.

He is notable for reviving interest in the Kalam cosmological argument with his 1979 publication of The Kalam Cosmological Argument, an argument for the existence of God with origins in antiquity and developed by medieval Islamic scholasticism. In theology, he has also defended Molinism and the belief that God is, since Creation, temporal.

Craig has authored or edited over 40 books, including The Cosmological Argument from Plato to LeibnizTheism, Atheism, and Big Bang CosmologyGod, Time, and Eternity, and Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics.

Craig received a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Wheaton College, Illinois, in 1971 and two summa cum laude master's degrees from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois, in 1975, in philosophy of religion and ecclesiastical history. He earned a PhD in philosophy under John Hick at the University of Birmingham, England, in 1977 and a DTheol under Wolfhart Pannenberg at the University of Munich in 1984.
