Misunderstandings of Liberal Scholars 2: Jesus Seminar Group Appearance Lists

Does the Jesus Seminar acknowledge that group appearances of the risen Jesus to his disciples are multiply, independently attested? Short answer: No.But unfortunately, in volume 1 of his recent set of books on the resurrection, Gary Habermas emphatically says that they do. Here I read several of the places where Habermas says so and also undeniable quotations where they say to the contrary. Habermas has committed a very serious interpretive mistake: He has looked at pages where the Jesus seminar lists "sources" or "accounts" of events surrounding the resurrection and has simply *assumed* that these lists must be places that the Jesus Seminar scholars are granting to be *independent* accounts. This is a highly dubious assumption, which Habermas should not have made to begin with, and the evidence of their discussion in the following pages is unequivocal to the contrary, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have read and understood those following pages. These lists are simply of accounts in the Gospels and some extra-canonical sources. That's it. Just lists of accounts. Not lists of independent accounts.You can borrow _The Acts of Jesus_, cited by Habermas, and check out for yourself the pages he and I cite, on OpenLibrary.https://openlibrary.org/account/login?redirect=/books/OL697165M/The_acts_of_Jesus/borrow?action=borrow
