The Resurrection: Contrasting Views, Liberal & Conservative with John Dominic Crossan Parts 1 & 2

What this episode covers

For over 2,000 years if one professed to be a Christian it was a nonnegotiable that an unwavering belief in the literal resurrection of Jesus was part of the deal. Any movement from that position (at least publicly) could be very hazardous to your health. But in recent decades there has been a decided shift in solid obedience to that dogma by more liberal strains of Christianity. In 2005 the book The Resurrection of Jesus: John Dominic Crossan and N. T. Wright in Dialogue was published. Former Catholic priest and liberal theologian converses with conservative Anglican NT Wright offer their contrasting views on this subject. In these 2 episodes we speak with Dr. Crossan in depth on new ways the Gospels can still speak to adherents.
