An Excellent Book that Appeals to All Levels of Inquiry
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus by Gary R. Habermas and Michael R Licona makes a persuasive case for the historical resurrection of Jesus. What I like about this book is that it is structured for different levels of interest. The first 150 pages gives the basic facts surrounding the resurrection and addresses the major objections to the resurrection. The next seventy pages deals with the lesser known objections and offers some suggestions on how to dialog with objectors. The Appendix is almost thirty pages of a detailed outline of information provided which leads to the uniqueness of this book. It does more than gives you information; it makes a valent attempt for the reader to remember this information.
The authors helps the reader remember the information provided by providing nineteen flow charts which outline each major point (very helpful), the appendix, highlighted summaries, and a DVD game. The flow charts allowed me to quickly see the flow and the connection of each major point. The highlight summary sections quickly state the main points. The DVD game is imaginative and fun and is divided into ten categories with some two hundred questions which reinforced the material. The appendix is another avenue to gain quick access to the information.
The material and arguments are from a minimalist approach. The authors focus on information that almost all historians agree upon and how a historian determines the likelihood of an event. The mindset of a historian is not to say that something is true or false but to determine a scale or gradient to determine if something ranges from very doubtful to very certain. Some of the criteria of evaluating an event include multiple independent witnesses, attestation by enemies, embarrassing admissions, eyewitness testimonies, and early testimonies supporting the historical claims. When it comes to the resurrection of Jesus there are at least four and possibly five facts that land in the “very certain” category.
The historical claims that are graded in the very certain category are these four. One, Jesus died by crucifixion which is supported by five non-Christian sources. Two, the disciples of Jesus believed that He rose and appeared to them which is supported by nine sources in three categories pointing to a multiple and very early eyewitness testimony. Not only did the disciples of Jesus believe that they personally saw the resurrected Jesus, but they were willing to suffer for that belief which is attested to by seven ancient sources. Three, the church persecutor, Paul, was suddenly changed and became a martyr for this testimony which is supported by seven ancient sources. Four, Jesus’ skeptic brother, James, was converted and became a follower of Jesus which resulted in him becoming a martyr for this belief as reported by Josephus, Hegesippus, and Clement of Alexandria. Finally, the empty tomb is in a separate category from “very certain” (75% of scholars accept the empty tomb as a historical fact). The reasons that most scholars accept the empty tomb as a historical is because of the attestation of enemies, the culturally embarrassing testimony of the women, and the Jerusalem factor.
After establishing the historical events that are accepted by historians, the authors simply compare these facts against various alternate theories that have been floated over time. The question is, do these theories deal with the facts and which theory clearly stands out from all the other ideas because it deals with the facts? In short, there is but one idea that stands alone. “Therefore, Jesus’ resurrection is more than the most plausible explanation to account for the data. It is the only explanation that accounts adequately for all of the facts.”

Great Apologetic Resource
Format: Paperback
This is a great introductory resource for Christians who want to defend the hope that is within them. Habermas and Licona outline and defend a strong "minimal fact" argument for the resurrection of Jesus. In short, this historical argument argues for certain facts concerning the events surrounding the resurrection such as Jesus dying on a cross, the disciples claiming to have seen him risen, and Paul having a transforming experience of the risen Christ on the road to Damascus, etc. After arguing for all these alleged facts, the authors argue that a bodily resurrection fits the evidence better than any other theory. The strength of this argument is that it relies on multiple points each of which has a good body of evidential support. One can still claim agnosticism on the resurrection I suppose but I think that if one is honest (and philosophically open at least to be possibility of God acting in history via miracles) he or she would have to conclude that Jesus rose from the dead.
As I said above, this is a great introductory work. Someone who wants to delve further should read N.T. Wright's The Resurrection of the Son of God, and works by William Lane Craig on the subject. Read the other side as well both online at Internet Infidels and through books by Christian deconverts. Both authors quote other prominent New Testament scholars to back up their points while citing the original sources behind their alleged facts, ensuring that one who is earnestly seeking can check their work and investigate the matter for herself. The book also contains charts that visually summarize the points being made in the text which makes the material easier to remember. The book deals with alternative theories and then discusses the philosophy of Naturalism. I have read better critiques of Naturalism but this book does a good job of refuting pop-Naturalism I suppose.
The next part contains brief chapters defending the bodily resurrection view against the heavenly appearance view and that Jesus claimed divinity. I think these sparse chapters could have been lengthened, especially the chapter on Jesus' self-understanding to make a stronger case. The next chapter on Intelligent Design is really out of place in this book and should have been left out. If the authors wanted to give props to ID they should have done so in an Afterward or an appendix. The book is mainly about Jesus, what he was about and what happened to him, not about ID.
Lastly, the book has many endnotes which I much appreciate along with an extensive bibliography which I appreciate even more. Overall this was a very edifying read and can help you when someone challenges you about the evidential basis for your faith.

Recommended for Pastors
Format: Kindle
Knowing why you believe what you believe is one of the hardest parts of being a Christian. Just as parents answer a child's endless supply of "why?" questions and usually run out of answers, The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus by Gary Habermas ensures that we Christians don't. It begins with "why" it is important for us to know the information provided in this book. The answer is found in God's Holy Word, I Peter 3:15, "Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence."
This book takes several arguments disputing the resurrection of Christ and tears them to shreds. It demonstrates that the very sources used against the resurrection are biased and partial. The amount of information and biblical knowledge contained within is astounding. It includes a CD-ROM which is pure genius, educating the public about the resurrection.
Habermas dissects common questions that argue against Jesus' resurrection, making it an easy reference for the future. For example, say the person you are witnessing to says, "The disciples stole the body;" it is easy to find the information to refute that false belief. Every known argument for why the resurrection didn't happen is accounted for in this book, and proven wrong.
This book is an excellent learning tool for every Christian. I recommend it for pastors as a reference tool and a study guide, regardless of where they are in their walk with the Lord. All of life is a time to learn, and learning never stops. We can never know too much about God.
With the inclusion of a detailed outline of the arguments contained in this book, the notes taken to write the book ( listed by individual chapter),and the bibliography of other reference books used in this one, there is an limitless supply of Bible studies and/or sermons. What pastor could not use this book? This book is by far one of the most useful books on the Christian faith. -- Tammy Hornbeck, Christian Book Previews.com

Buy it for the Resurrection but Stay for the Logic
Format: Kindle
Being a huge fan of Bishop Robert Barron on YouTube, I turned to this book for a specific issue: what is the historical evidence not only that Jesus lived but that He was resurrected? In addition, I wanted something that wasn't written from the perspective of theology but from a more neutral, historical stance. Furthermore, I wanted a book that wasn't a 900 page academic treatise but a book that a layperson could read, easily, and get an overview to the historiography.
AN OVERVIEW TO THE HISTORIOGRAPHY
This book fulfilled that role. Whether you accept its evidence or not hinges a) on your own religious perspective and open mindedness, and b) whether you accept the veracity of many of the early writings of Christianity. Not being an expert, I can't really reach a firm conclusion on "b." The authors are clearly fervent Christians, but they do an admirable job of leaving their beliefs aside and resting their survey to the facts and the historiography.
The book is an excellent overview to the logic and argument in favor of the resurrection. If you're curious or you've ever wondered whether there is any evidence... this is an excellent choice.
AN EXPOSE ON LOGIC
What I found surprising and enjoyable, however, was the writers' expose on logic. If x is true, then y is true. If a is not true, then b cannot be true - etc. The discussion of historical logic, above and apart from the Resurrection, was eye-opening. It made me think - a lot - about how I apply logic to my own understanding of "reality," whether a scientific theory (e.g., evolution) or a historical theory (e.g., that Christ was resurrected).
For that alone, the book is worthy of the read. Did Jesus live? Was he resurrected? This book is not only a good survey of the evidence and arguments but also a wonderful adventure in logic. Read it, and you decide.

Equipping Believers to Evangelize the Resurrection
Format: Paperback
To be candid, I am not a fan of most popular apologetics -- especially on the resurrection. But when I saw that this book was 384 pages long, I thought it was perhaps an exception and would cover the issue in more detail than others. I was wrong. So why do I still rank this book so high? Because it does what it intends to do effectively.
This book effectively equips Christians to witness to their friends, neighbors, and families using the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Habermas and Licona begin with a discussion about the importance of the resurrection of Jesus to Christianity. Though this seems obvious, the discussion is helpful because it wisely recommends focusing on the resurrection without getting bogged down in, presumably, issues such as inerrancy and a complete harmonization of the resurrection narratives. This is a common failing of Christians trying to share their faith. The authors' emphasis on keeping the eye on the ball extends throughout the book.
After the opening chapter, the book turns to the core of the issue, the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. The strength of this section is that it distills down, accurately, a high level of scholarship on the issue. Habermas and Licona present five "minimal facts." That is, they focus on five historical facts that are accepted by most scholars:
1) Jesus' death by crucifixion;
2) Jesus' disciples believed that he rose and appeared to them;
3) Paul, a persecutor of the church, has suddenly changed to faith in Jesus;
4) James, skeptical of Jesus during his ministry, was suddenly changed to faith in Jesus; and,
5) The tomb of Jesus was empty.
No. 4 is perhaps more disputed than Habermas and Licona discuss (and by far the least important of the five), but the rest of the discussion accurately represents the state of historical scholarship. Although their discussion will not supplant the more probing discussions of N.T. Wright or William L. Craig, it will equip the reader to accurately present to their friends, neighbors, and family the persuasive historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. They fit their "minimal facts" together effectively to present a strong case for the resurrection of Jesus.
Most of the rest of the book deals with various objections to the resurrection. This includes the usual suspects, such as the hallucination theory or the forgotten grave site. But it also includes others that scholars tend to ignore but which actually pop up in real conversation, such as whether Jesus could have been an alien (don't laugh, I've heard that one) and how do we know that even if there was a resurrection that God had anything to do with it. Their response effectively focuses on the context of Jesus' ministry and claims about himself.
There are a few sections that appear out of place, such as the discussion of near death experiences and even the section about the existence of God. But the book closes with its strength, a helpful discussion of how to take the knowledge conveyed by the book and convince others about the resurrection of Jesus.
Christians wishing to share effectively the core of their faith with those they care about will find this book very helpful. And for that reason, I recommend it.
