EVIDENCE FOR THE HISTORICAL JESUS: Is the Jesus of History the Christ of Faith Kindle Edition

by Gary Habermas (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 109 ratings
The search for the historical Jesus is a hot topic in both popular and academic circles today and has drawn a lot of attention from national magazines, such as Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report. Further, the media has given an undue amount of attention to the Jesus Seminar's outlandish statements, a self-selected liberal group representing a tiny percentage of New Testament scholarship. Dr. Gary Habermas will address the questions surrounding the debate over the historical Jesus and show a significant number of historical facts about Jesus in secular and non-New Testament sources that prove that the Jesus of history is the same Jesus of the Christian faith.The author of EVIDENCE FOR THE HISTORICAL JESUS is Dr. Gary Habermas, author of the book, The Historical Jesus and about twenty other volumes. He received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University. Dr. Habermas is chairman of the Department of Philosophy at Liberty University. He has written more than 100 articles, mostly on the life of Jesus, which have appeared in scholarly journals and elsewhere. Herein you will learn why Jesus is one of the most historically verified lives of ancient times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A good short book

    Dr. 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
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This 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.
