At a conference on special divine action in July, Craig gave a plenary paper concerning miracle reports for the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at Oxford University. Lenn Goodman, professor of philosophy at Vanderbilt (and a friend with whom Craig has been privileged to share Shabbat and attend synagogue), introduced Craig’s paper; Western Michigan University philosophy professor Timothy McGrew gave the response, followed by some give-and-take academic discussion with scholars in the audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYBnJF2P_WQ&list=UUcw1IwzRhh9jJtGwF3X-CQg.
The historical context of modern skepticism about miracles is an important element alongside what Craig addressed (and may be even more interesting, though this website is mainly for Craig’s research): note the paper by Alister McGrath, professor of science and religion at Oxford, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXqhB_RqEzI&list=UUcw1IwzRhh9jJtGwF3X-CQg; also Tim McGrew, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMjg86wlGU0&list=UUcw1IwzRhh9jJtGwF3X-CQg (the shortest of these videos, for those in a hurry). Some of you may also be interested in the other papers, including Graham Twelftree (to whom Craig responded briefly in the same video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AJfNBuOIpY&list=UUcw1IwzRhh9jJtGwF3X-CQg); Oxford philosophy professor Richard Swinburne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUnMqtymfoU&list=UUcw1IwzRhh9jJtGwF3X-CQg); and many others, from a variety of perspectives, both theists and nontheists.
