TRINITY, Fla. — Churches across North America and beyond are invited to host a free live simulcast of THE GREAT DEBATE 2027: DID JESUS RISE FROM THE DEAD? on Sunday evening, March 7, 2027. Moderated by New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg of Apologetics, Inc., this intellectual clash will be hosted at First Baptist Dallas, featuring two leading scholars with profoundly different conclusions about this central claim of the Christian faith. 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.
THE GREAT DEBATE is a turnkey outreach opportunity for churches, youth ministries, and campus clubs. Scheduled just before Easter 2027, the debate happens in the same season as the premiere of Mel Gibson’s highly anticipated movie about Jesus’s resurrection as well as the theatrical release of The Chosen’s episode about the crucifixion of Jesus.
