"Habermas's argument from evidential near-death experiences and a likely afterlife to resurrection appearances of some sort is a useful addition to the literature." --Dale C. Allison Jr., Richard J. Dearborn Professor of New Testament Studies, Princeton Theological Seminary "In volume 1 of this four-volume series, Gary Habermas has already produced a masterful defense of the resurrection of Jesus with his comprehensive collection of evidence. In volume 2, he responds to all the major and quite a few minor alternative explanations for the resurrection with grace, truth, and level-headed reason. No doubt, after this volume there will continue to be critics who simply ignore or casually skim and brush off this opus giganticum, and there will be those who follow them. Anyone wishing to credibly defend a skeptical position, however, will have to engage and then refute this work in considerable detail.

I do not currently see how this would be possible." --Craig L. Blomberg, distinguished professor emeritus of New Testament, Denver Seminary "This book presents a monumental scholarly debate on the validity of vision for the resurrection of Jesus in Western Christianity." --John Dominic Crossan, emeritus professor of biblical studies, DePaul University "This series confirms Habermas's status as the leading voice among an increasing number of eminent scholars openly affirming the strong evidence for Jesus's resurrection." --Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary "Dr.

Habermas began his reading on the resurrection of Jesus when I was one year old. And I am sixty-one! The first volume of his magnum opus on the topic is the most comprehensive on the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus ever written. Habermas is today's top scholar on the topic. In fact, I am aware of only one other person who knows more about the resurrection of Jesus than Habermas, and that's Jesus! That book and the subsequent volumes are for New Testament scholars, philosophers of religion, Christian apologists, and anyone who has a serious interest in the topic." --Michael Licona, professor of New Testament studies, Houston Christian University "Beyond any reasonable doubt, this massive, rigorous, highly informed tome increases Dr. Gary Habermas's standing as the world's leading expert on the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. You simply must get this book." --J.

P. Moreland, distinguished professor of philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University "Gary Habermas has made it his main mission in his scholarly work to focus on the resurrection of Jesus and its importance. After many decades of hard work and detailed scholarship, he is now producing a four-volume series that is and will be, to my knowledge, the most detailed treatment of this crucial subject in Christian history. This is a resource that every Christian college and seminary library should have on its shelf because it promises to be the most complete and compelling treatment of this subject available." --Ben Witherington III, Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary "Professor Gary Habermas has made studying the resurrection of Jesus Christ his life's work. Probably no one else on the planet has researched or documented the relevant arguments in greater detail." --Peter Williams, principal, Tyndale House, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
