Kregel Publications The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus

The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus, along with an interactive CD, will prepare you to make a compelling argument for the historicity of Christ's resurrection, even to those who do not accept the Bible as divinely inspired. The authors first develop principles by which a historical event can be accepted as true, then apply them to belief in Christ's rising from the dead, and finally offer sample scenarios illustrating the use of these principles.

That's a great book!!! No matter if you're a beliver or not, here you'll find proves that Jesus is alive for real. Good for whose want to begin at apologetics side, a very clear language. Good for whose want to continue develop apologetics, has a lot of endnotes with a wonderful material... That's a must have to read...

I have not read a more thorough defense of the resurrection of Christ! This honestly has been an extremely valuable investment and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about the subject and gaining personal insight on how to communicate it to someone who either raises questions because of curiosity or simply is a skeptic who wants to debate. Even though I am not (academically speaking) a historian, there are some things about history that I think are necessary to mention for people who are skeptical about it. Before we can ever discuss a person of the past, we must always begin with historical records (documents, biographies, etc) and even what archaeology says about it. Some say that we cannot know history because we don't have absolute proof of it. The weakness of this belief is that no one hardly lives that way. But anyways this book is such an encouragement to me and it will give you a solid education on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!

This book is absolutely brilliant! It lays out all the arguments that skeptics have about the Resurrection and they give answers that completely throws the skeptics arguments out the door. This is a must read & will help you be able to defend Christ's resurrection.

This was a very convincing book for me. Habermas and Licona are probably two of the best (if not the two best) on the subject of the resurrection. The five facts they use on the resurrection are practically indestructible for critics and skeptics alike. This was a tremendous faith builder, and a must read!

I grudgingly give this a 4.5. The purpose for the high rating is that this book provides a wealth of great information to support our belief that the resurrection of Jesus was truly an historical event. They cover many angles, and respond to numerous objections that I would have never thought of. I'm not sure you will get a more thorough and systematic presentation of the arguments for the resurrection than in this book. Despite the positive comments, I want to apprise the buyer of a few observations. First, this is not an apologetics resource that you'd use to loan your skeptical friends. Too much of it addresses the Christian, and how to present this info to others (there's even a chapter on how to come across well). Second, the endnotes are a problem. Some of them are so important the info should be in the text, others go on endlessly about marginally important things (e.g., too much on the early Church fathers). Third, they actually present a few weak arguments at points - the average skeptic may not pick up on this, but that's besides the point. Finally, when they speak of the resurrection body of Jesus, they don't seem to reflect NT scholarly insights on this - they present it as a simple either/or: A truly physical body or a spiritual only body that only appears physical (which they say the empty tomb disproves). The reality seems to be a transformed body reflecting the age to come - while functioning physically, it still displayed supernatural properties. George Eldon Ladd covers this in his books: 1) I Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus and 2) Theology of the NT. Overall, I'd strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn the reason we believe - so long as you are aware of it's foibles, you'll greatly benefit from this book.
