About this Episode

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!"
