Episode 170: Dr. Gary Habermas on the Historical Reliability of the Gospels and the Resurrection [Part 2]

You have likely heard a skeptic or two say that the New Testament is riddled with contradictions and therefore it is likely an untrustworthy source for understanding what happened in and around Jerusalem some 2,000 years ago. This week on the Profile we continue our discussion with leading resurrection scholar Dr. Gary Habermas who gives us very practical insights about how we can answer our skeptic friends and why we can trust the New Testament accounts of Jesus's life and ministry.Dr. Gary Habermas earned a PhD from Michigan State University, an MA from the University of Detroit and a BRE from William Tyndale College. He has dedicated his professional life to the examination of the relevant historical, philosophical, and theological issues surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus. His extensive list of publications and debates provides a thorough account of the current state of the issue. He has written 49 books and also contributed over 85 chapters or articles to additional books, and almost 200 articles and reviews in journals and other publications. In recent years, he has been a visiting or adjunct professor at about 15 different graduate schools and seminaries in the United States and abroad.Dr. Habermas is a Distinguished Research Professor of Apologetics and Philosophy. He is married to Eileen and they have seven children and 16 grandchildren.GARY HABERMAS RESOURCES: Gary Habermas' personal research and publications webpage: GaryHabermas.com Gary Habermas' YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/HabermasYouTube Free E-Book by Gary Habermas: http://garyhabermas.com/Evidence2/Habermas-Uniqueness-of-Jesus-Christ-2016.pdf Book - Risen Indeed: A Historical Investigation Into the Resurrection of Jesus, (2021) by Dr. Gary Habermas: https://amzn.to/3tvUUzd RELATED WATCHMAN FELLOWSHIP PROFILES: Watchman Fellowship's 4-page Profile on Atheism by Dr. Robert M.
