Did Jesus Rise from the Dead? The Resurrection Debate

Did Jesus Rise from the Dead? presents the 1985 debate between Gary Habermas and Antony Flew on the seminal event of Christianity. Touching on evidence from both science and philosophy, these eminent scholars passionately debate the question of whether the physical resurrection of Jesus should be accepted as historical fact.

Representing diametrically opposed viewpoints, Habermas and Flew survey the documentary and physical evidence surrounding the events of the first Easter. They discuss how this material has been assessed through the centuries and explain why they feel that the weight of the evidence supports or denies that Jesus rose from the dead.

An illuminating introduction sets the stage for this brilliant exchange, during which both scholars put forth their cases and offer a response to the other’s presentation.
