5.0 out of 5 stars A good short book
Verified PurchaseDr. Habermas is a well researched apologist. He tackles the questions and criticisms about Jesus. This is a short book on the subject, and he has many others to deepen your research.
I would recommend and have bought other books by this author and publisher.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hearsay not Evidence
Verified PurchaseThis book, written in a question and answer form with the insulting word 'listen' put before the responder replies, relies on supposed evidence which has dubious proof behind it. He quotes the passage from 1 Corinthians 15 where Paul writes that 'he appeared to Cephas, and later to the Twelve; and next he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time..." as evidence. Mark tells us that Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalen. Yet, we're told in the gospels by this time there were only eleven disciples and Mark tells us that he showed himself to the Eleven themselves while they were at table. There is no mention in Mark of the five hundred. Thus the passage in Corinthians has three points of contention with that in Mark. Peter does not witness the risen Jesus except as part of the Eleven, Mark does not mention that Cephas / Peter saw the risen Jesus, instead it should be Mary Magdalen according to Mark and John or Cleopas on the road to Emmaus with Simon according to Luke or the two Marys according to Matthew. The twelve is either correct and the story of Judas Iscariot is wrong or Paul did not know of the treachery of Judas. As to the five hundred, this is a round number and has no coroboration in names or locations. This would suggest that Paul's account is to be considered, if we are charitable, to be second-hand and misremembered, and as such can not be considered evidence.
The writer also mentions Tacitus' (in the Annals) report of the death of Jesus by execution by order of Pontius Pilot. Tacitus was writing in AD 64 or later after the Great Fire of Rome which was blamed on Christians and Jews. This seems to be similar to a newspaper reporter giving background on the Christian sect. You can almost imagine him putting the prefix of 'the word on the street is' before his statement. It merely suggests that by AD 64 the story of Jesus being executed was common enough to have reached Rome. The writer does not mention that Tacitus' verdict on Christianity was that it was a 'mischievous superstition'.
A very disappointing book.
