The State of Resurrection Research: Discussion with Gary Habermas and Mike Licona
How good is the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus? How has resurrection research shifted over the past few decades. In this interview, we discuss the latest book RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY and cover near-death experiences, the Shroud of Turin and more.

That went quick. But I do have to quit watching because I keep pausing it and buying more books. Thanks for the interview
I only watched a snippet of this but am blessed by what I heard. Thanks to each of you for your work on the resurrection data and sharing that with us. I am blessed.
My grandmother had a near death experience in 1940 during the Blitz in Leatherhead. She was 17 having her appendix out, and she floated up out of her body. Saw everything going on below her. When she came back, her mother told her that the doctors said that they nearly lost her.
Fantastic
Gary Habermas is going to live for at least another 25 yrs, at least, (We need him) and furthermore his remaining years will be ones of vigor, great strength and very good health, both of mind & body. Amen? Amen! God Bless Gary Habermas!
Super bad term since I keep hearing "pest strip". Yes, it's that bad
There are more and more children coming forward giving testimonials about heaven before they were born. This will continue to increase and needs to be addressed.
“Religions are divisive and quarrelsome. They are a form of one-upmanship because they depend upon separating the “saved” from the “damned,” the true believers from the heretics, the in-group from the out-group… All belief is fervent hope, and thus a cover-up for doubt and uncertainty.”
~ Alan Watts
The resurrection is ONLY believable to people WANTING to believe it. The resurrection concept is OBVIOUSLY a fanciful fairytale. BUT… Even if it were TRUE, it would be a ridiculous thing for God to want/need to do. SO, SO BARBARIC. Additionally, Paul says he ONLY received his Gospel from REVELATIONS and SCRIPTURE… so, from dreams and extrapolating/reinterpretting Torah verses, basically–> not from first hand eye witnesses, etc. Fishy, fishy. Paul doesn't mention any parables of Jesus. Fishy, fishy. The 4 gospels were written AFTER Paul's writings and they disagree BLATANTLY (and to deny that fact would be intellectually DISHONEST). There are ZERO non-christian contemporary sources to verify ANYTHING. AND… suffering/rising/dying godmen were all the rage back then and Jesus was simply the Jewish version of the fairytale.
Great discussion
Thank you👍 The gospel → Christ died for our sins. He was buried. He was raised on the third day. He appeared to the apostles. 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 Isaiah 53 Anyone is saved just by believing in the gospel. Romans 1:16 Ephesians 2:8-9
Sean: if you want to have civil discussion about abortion you need to engage with the pro-choice arguments. This video mentioned the rights of 2 major stakeholders- the states and the unborn. The rights of women are never mentioned. “This is why they say, “Pro-life isn’t about preserving life, it’s about controlling women.”
PS: After listening to the whole video, I don’t think the words “fetus” or “embryo” are used once. It’s dripping in loaded language that makes it hard for outsiders to engage with.
-Coming from someone who was formerly anti-abortion and is currently pro-choice.
My mom suffered from cancer for twelve years from 1958 to 1970. After her little bones began to break due to the cancer in them, the orthopedist convinced me to put her in a Holiday Inn rehab center. She had hallucinations, the first I ever knew her to have, and was worried that the staff were going to harm me. When the staff came and tried to force her into a wheelchair and she cried out as she had never cried out during the twelve years, I called the oncologist to beg him to take her back to Baptist Hospital. My mom called out to her mom, who died before I was born. She also called “Jimmy” but she had never called my Uncle Jim “Jimmy” during my lifetime. She died soon after I witnessed this experience.
We can say that all 4 Gospels were done within 100 years of Jesus's death since P52 (from John) dates between 100-150 (with overall scholarly consensus seeming to be at 125). So since John is the last of the Gospels all 4 Gospels themselves therefore have an early verified date, which makes the possibility of the Gospels actually being eyewitness testimony valid. Scholars also agree that Acts is the history of the ministry of Paul, Luke and Acts are by the same author, and Paul's conversion happened within 5 years of the death of Jesus.
What is the anomaly of interest to Science which current models can't explain, and which the "resurrection hypothesis" proposes to finally explain? You folks NEVER say. How come?
A Praise report….. is two men I prayed for to come to Jesus are starting to ask questions!
does anyone know where to find Gary's evidential NDE cases? Is it on his website?
Christianity may be well served by these kind of apologetics but this isn't for me particularly compelling or necessary for my faith. There are other factors such as the Bible which explains actual history and the future but more importantly the nature and predicament of mankind. More than that it explains the nature and workings of the Spirit realm. I've seen a few miracles sure they did boost my faith levels for a time but for me the greatest proof is in the Spirit realm. Jesus name is unbelievably powerful and He really does literally still cast out demons and has authority to deliver people who are in bondage.
Whats the best book from hebermas on the ressurection?
NDE's are irrelevant. If they were dead why weren't they buried? They weren't dead, so NDE's are garbage! The garbage tales of magic seeing of numbers and other patients have NEVER been verified. NDE's don't stop brain function. Having a funny dream due to sleep or unconsciousness is all NDE's are!
Jesus was wrapped in several pieces of linen clothes, therefore a single shroud does not belong to Him:
John 20:7 KJV
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
John 19:40 KJV
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen CLOTHES with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
Luke 24:12 KJV
Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen CLOTHES laid by THEMSELVES, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
The resurrection is a fairytale. You are welcome. 😉
You're a sinner in need of a savior
Jesus Christ is waiting
Today is the day of salvation
Jesus lives
Jesus Christ is Lord
Jesus loves you repent
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:24
Thank you so much for this excellent discussion! I learned so much. Keep up the good work!
What makes Gary Habermas such a valuable resource is you can tell how well he knows the field. He can name scholars, what they wrote, and what their stance is left and right
Beautiful conversation. Thank you for this. God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏
Imagination is God in man so wake up yourself, Paul hinted Phil 2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
considering you think this event to be important if not the most important thing and the evidence is sparse or nonexistent at best says that wither your god isnt all that smart,,,or enjoys watching people die fighting over thios topic…or becasue its in a book with talking donkeys witches zombies dragons and unicorns that just maybe its all mythology…which is truly the most likely..and raised on thew third dayu is so deceitful..on the cross friday night off by sunday mornign…36 hours…thats it..people have suffered far longer and far more than your dead jewish carpenter..its really not that impressive sorry
Jebuse rose on the third day?
Friday night to Sunday morning. So 37 hours approximately? What happened to the 3 nights too?
You people are delusional.
Three morons: one video
666th like😱Oh no.
Where is the evidence of the shroud prior to its first mention in 1354?
Three heavily committed Christians offer oblique and circumstantial evidence for an ancient magical event. Who'd have guessed?
Does anyone know for sure if there is a God? I think there might be a God but I am not sure
I am sincerely thankful for discussions on the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. These discussions provided me more truth (facts) to help me navigate my doctrinally belief.
Something to listen to when you have doubts…
Gary is one of the best when he shares his minimal facts ,he’s one of those people who reminds me of John Lennox a wise grandfather type now I’m not much younger than him hIs demeanor and wisdom I have always heard from him and these type videos reaffirms it ,to me this is a man of God! thank you Shawn all of these videos I’ve enjoyed so far. I have always thought Mike Lacona was one of the best add exegeteing scripture so thanks again.
51:15 Do we have near death stories from atheists?
