Examining archaeological, textual and extra-biblical evidence, Gary R. Habermas provides a strong foundation for the existence and deity of Jesus. He begins by surveying the past centuries of Historical Jesus studies, highlighting key figures and offering an informed critique of their arguments. North concludes with a convincing survey of the historical data available to the modern reader. His detailed engagement with early creedal statements, archaeological data, and other witnesses is both reasoned and convincing.
Gary R. Habermas (Ph. D., Michigan State University) is Distinguished Research Professor and chair of the department of philosophy and theology at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is the author, coauthor or editor of more than twenty-five books.
Praise for the Print Edition
This is an up-to-date, timely, and scholarly treatment of a crucial dimension of the Christian faith by one of the foremost historical apologists in America today.
—Dr. Norm Geisler, Dean of Southern Evangelical Seminary Veritas Graduate School
The Historical Jesus is a careful, accessible analysis and critique of the various approaches to the historical Jesus. Habermas defends the historical veracity of the orthodox view of Jesus with a detailed set of convincing arguments. I don’t know how someone could read this book without concluding that Jesus Christ was who the New Testament proclaimed Him to be.
—Dr. J. P. Moreland, Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University |
