REASONABLE FAITH · CHAPTER NWA
Christian Apologetics in Northwest Arkansas
An intelligent, articulate voice for biblical Christianity in Bentonville and beyond. Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or a long-time believer, there’s a seat at the table for you.
WHO WE ARE
Exploring the Rationality of the Christian Faith
Reasonable Faith NWA is the Northwest Arkansas chapter of Reasonable Faith, the ministry of philosopher and theologian Dr. William Lane Craig. We meet monthly in Bentonville to discuss topics ranging from science and philosophy to history and theology. We don’t just offer lectures. We offer community and conversation.
Monthly Conversations
A talk, a question, and open discussion, every month in Bentonville. Bring your questions, including the hard ones.
Science & Faith Dialogue
For engineers, medical and tech professionals, students, and anyone curious about how the findings of science relate to belief in God.
Equipping Believers
Know the who, what, when, where, and why of your faith, and learn to share it with gentleness and respect.

BIG QUESTIONS
Topics We Explore
The Origin of the Universe
Did the universe have a beginning, and if so, what caused it? We look at the Kalam cosmological argument and Big Bang cosmology.
The Fine-Tuning of the Universe
The laws and constants of physics fall within a narrow range that permits life. Is that best explained by physical necessity, chance, or design?
The Historical Jesus
What can historians reasonably know about Jesus of Nazareth, including his death, the empty tomb, and the resurrection appearances?
Science and Faith
Are science and Christianity at war, or are they allies? We explore evolution, cosmology, and the limits of science, honestly.
