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!" 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED DURING THE EPISODE On the Resurrection: Evidences (Volume 1) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087778603 On the Resurrection: Refutations (Volume 2) - https://a.co/d/48jozEv On the Resurrection: Scholarly Perspectives (Volume 3) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087778646 Gary's website - http://GaryHabermas.com Did Jesus REALLY Rise From the Dead? - https://bit.ly/3VnrtiD Do Naturalistic Alternatives to the Resurrection Work? -    • Do Naturalistic Alternatives to the Resurr...   If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings! 🤝 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 (𝗧𝗔𝗫-𝗗𝗘𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘) 🤝 ● Website: https://crossexamined.org/donate/ 👥 𝗦𝗢𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔 👥 ● Facebook:   / crossexamined.org   ● X   / frank_turek   ● Instagram:   / drfrankturek   ● TikTok: https://bit.ly/3SSqGE5 🗄️ 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗦 🗄️ ● Website: https://crossexamined.org ● Store: https://impactapologetics.com/ ● Online Courses: https://www.onlinechristiancourses.com/ 🎙️ 𝗦𝗨𝗕𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧 🎙️ ● Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/CrossExamined_Podcast ● Spotify: http://bit.ly/CrossExaminedOfficial_P... ● Pandora: https://bit.ly/3M3c3tY ● iHeart: https://bit.ly/3ApZ2Il ● Podchaser: https://bit.ly/46PBzfH #podcast 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:30 - What's in Volume 3 of Gary's magnum opus? 00:13:00 - Why do critical scholars deny miracles but still affirm that Jesus was a miracle worker? 00:22:35 - Why do so many atheists refuse to say "I do" to Jesus? 00:29:22 - Apparent contradictions in the New Testament and inerrancy comments 00:36:16 - Did the deity of Jesus evolve over time? 00:44:08 - "It's an old argument, but try to get out of it!" 00:48:48 - Final thoughts on "the yellow brick road"
