What Do Critical Scholars Admit About Jesus? with Dr. Gary Habermas

Resurrection expert Dr. Gary Habermas returns to discuss Volume 3 of his magnum opus, ‘On the Resurrection: Scholarly Perspectives‘, which includes 500+ scholarly treatments related to the resurrection. From far-left critics to conservative theologians, this collective volume provides a strong overview of everything that has ever been written about the resurrection and includes over 8,000 footnotes!

During their conversation, Frank and Gary answer questions like:

Why do critical scholars deny miracles but still affirm that Jesus was a miracle worker?

Why does Gary think many atheists don’t want to say “I do” to Jesus?

Is biblical inerrancy a requirement for the Gospel and what about apparent Bible contradictions?

What are the 3 things you need in order for Christianity to be true?

How do you respond to those who say the deity of God evolved over time?

What do creeds teach us about high Christology and how did it get started?

What’s the best explanation for the rapid growth of early Christianity?

If you’re looking for the most comprehensive survey of scholarship for and against the resurrection, this is it! Whether you’re a skeptic, seeker, or committed believer, this discussion offers rich insight and a reason to take the resurrection seriously. As Gary would say, “It’s a bold argument to say that Jesus rose from the dead, but try to get out of it!”
