William Lane Craig Using Reason?

[Markos]

The reason I linked to the first page is so that anyone who was interested could read the entire article not just on paragraph which by itself doesn't say much. For that matter, the entire article doesn't appear to say much but it is a total reversal from what WLC has said in the past. Now that you say WLC endorses those arguments as reasonable, then when he says "The person who follows the pursuit of reason unflinchingly toward its end will be atheistic or, at best, agnostic." Either he is lying or the entire article is saying do not use reason to be a Christian. Has the apologist slipped up?

I can't myself see how one can interpret what he's said in that way in the light of the whole article: WLC's article is a defence of the use of (what he calls) natural theology, arguing that it is important to use arguments to present Christianity as intellectually viable. He supports this by noting a number of recent philosophers who have defended particular theistic arguments and notes that the New Atheists are very modernist in their approach to the debate. The immediate context, to me, seems to clearly indicate that he is describing the view of the "majority of Western intellectuals". If it is his view, then it rather jars with everything he's previously said, notably the number of Western philosophers he names who advocate arguments for the existence of god.
