This book contains a collection of essays in honor of Dr. Gary Habermas, who has made great contributions to the defense of the Christian faith. Dr. Habermas has dedicated his professional life to the examination of the relevant historical, philosophical, and theological issues surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The reader will find eighteen chapters (essays) in which matters related to the resurrection of Jesus are dealt in a profound way, both in its historical and philosophical sense. Here is a brief comment on some of the essays:
a) “On Habermas’s Minimal Facts Argument” by Robert B. Stewart. Stewart makes an approach to one of the most recognized contributions of Dr. Habermas, entitled "Minimal Facts" in which it is addressed that the apostles really saw Jesus from the dead.
b) "The Uniqueness Of Christianity In A World Of Religions" by Craig J. Hazen. One of the essays that he made me reflect on what Christianity is and its message to the world. A matter that Habermas has also dealt with more fully.
c) “The Testimony Of Josephus And The Burial Of Jesus” by Craig A. Evans. This chapter is part of the essays related to history, in which Dr. Evans collects evidence from Josephus on the burial of Jesus and how significant it is for apologetics.
This book is really a great contribution to the defense of the Christian faith and useful for every Christian who wants to have historical and philosophical foundations to talk about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In that sense, the editors do not overlook what we could learn from Dr. Habermas for the defense of the faith, so, we can find two articles in which he addresses what new and veteran apologists could learn from him, articles written by Frank Turek and Alex McFarland.
Every Christian will find in many of these chapters not only good arguments but ideas that will strengthen their faith.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. You can get this book here.
