“This book discusses the Kalam Cosmological Argument (KCA) as popularised by William Lane Craig. The author suggests modifications and rebuttals against counter-arguments to it. … This is a good book if you have heard of the KCA … in comprehensive detail.” (Gavin Merrifield, Science & Christian Belief, Vol. 31 (1), 2019)
