This is one of the most engaging dialogues between two of the best representatives of opposing perspectives on one of the most controversial topics?the resurrection of Jesusssss (Dr. Norman L. Geisler, President and Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Southern Evangelical Seminary)The release of this book represents a major publishing event. For twenty years or so there has been a steady growth in Christian philosophy and most of it has been representative of an historic approach to Christianity. Now with this book, a major academic publisher has provided for a broad audience a first-rate discussion that takes the bodily resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth seriously. The book brings together the top Christian defender of the resurrection and the most articulate advocate of atheismover the last fifty years. The conversational format allows these two great minds an opportunity to have a real interchange about Jesus? resurrection that is at once mutually respectful and clear. I recommend this book to anyone interested in a clear, fair-minded exchange on this most important topicc (J. P.

Antony Garrard Newton Flew (1923-2010) was a British philosopher, and formerly a noteworthy advocate of atheism, until his 2004 change of mind (see There Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind). He wrote such influential books as God & Philosophy and The Presumption of Atheism and Other (Philosophical) Essays on God, Freedom and Immortality; he also participated in debates/dialogues such as The Warren-Flew Debate on the Existence of God,Does God Exist?: The Great Debate, etc.Gary Habermas (born 1950) is Professor of Apologetics and Philosophy and chairman of the department of philosophy and theology at Liberty University, and is a foremost evangelical apologist who has written many books such as The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus,The Historical Jesus: Ancient Evidence for the Life of Christ, etc. These two philosophers had also met in debate in 1985 (see: Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?: The Resurrection Debate) and 2004 Did the Resurrection Happen?). This second encounter between the two took place in a 3½-hour debate on the John Ankerberg show.Habermas states that "Clearly, I Corinthians 15 is the central piece of evidence. The book is clearly written by Paul at an early date, 55 to 57 A.D. In 15:3 ff, Paul states that he received material that he passed on to others, as indicated by the terms 'delivered' and 'received,' which are translations of the technical rabbinical words for passing on tradition." (Pg. 4) In response to a question from Ankerberg about his wife's passing, Habermas said, "Debbie had stomach cancer. [Flew] was at my house in 1985, and had dinner with my wife and family. My wife passed away in the summer of 1995---ten years after [Flew's] visit. I had a graduate student who called me during that time and asked, 'Where would you be now if it weren't for the Resurrection?' And here Paul's point became highly relevant---Christians mourn, 'but not as those without hope.'" [I Thess 4:13](Pg. 19)Habermas said, "Notice, Jesus answers the questions, 'Are you the Messiah? Are you the Son of God?' by responding... His first comment is, 'I am.' Second, He changed a 'Son of God' question to a 'Son of Man' answer. He said, You will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of God and coming in the clouds to judge you. Now, the high priest could have responded, 'Oh, no. You said "Son of Man." I asked you if you were the "Son of God."' But the priest knew that when Jesus called Himself the 'Son of Man,' followed by the claim to sit on God's right hand and so on, He was making a claim to be Deity." (Pg. 42)Habermas definitely got the better part of this debate; Flew did better in the 1985 debate. This book will be of considerable interest to anyone studying Christian apologetics, or the philosophy of religion.
I suspect this book got bad reviews from both sides because it gave both sides! It did not have an axe to grind for either side which probably drew the ire of both of them. But having read so many books on this topic, I can say it is of high quality.It encapsulates a debate between Gary Habermas and Anthony Flew. At the time, the former was the foremost evangelical apologist on the subject. And Flew was the most famous athiest philosopher. It ends with a conversation between N.T Wright and Anthony Flew.This book is unique in that it not only gives both sides, but is also respectful in it's tone. And it becomes apparent much of this discussion hinges on previous philosophical assumptions. For instance, if God exists the supernatural becomes possible. If he does not, a resurrection becomes impossible.I highly recommend it!
I found the video of this "debate" on Youtube, and I thought it would be helpful to follow along with the transcription of that debate as I watched it. Unfortunately, I was expecting too much. The dialogue presented in this book is not a transcription of exactly what was said in the televised discussion; there are many changes and excisions, many minor and some quite major. An example of minor change would be taking out the parts where John Ankerberg (the host/moderator) says tells the viewers they're going to commercial; that kind of thing is not a big deal at all. But there are much more significant instances of whole paragraphs' worth of speech being excised from this version of the discussion. I'll give you one example. On pages 55-56, the book records this statement by Flew (the atheist in the discussion):“I'm not sure how one goes from there, but it may be of interest to you to know that I was acquainted with C.S. Lewis in my time at the Oxford University, both as a student and graduate student. I went frequently to meetings of the Socratic Club, an organization that he founded, and, certainly through most of the 1940's and 1950's, he chaired. You might also be interested to know that in his later life, he became very distressed about Evil, because basically he was confronted with the choice: Are things good because God says so, or does God approve of them because they were good? And he couldn't see the way out, other than saying that absolute power is its own justification, as Calvin and others said.â€That is the total and complete statement according to the book. But thanks to the magic of YouTube, we can see that this was, in fact, not the end of Flew's statement at all (and you can also see for yourself, just search "Antony Flew on C.S. Lewis"). Here's the rest of what he said at that point, not a single word of which was printed in this book:“...And in view of the fact that traditional religion is committed to the idea that most of God’s creatures are going to be tortured forever, for the things that he makes them do, the whole of Christian theism is a *nightmare* to me! And one of the reasons why I am so concerned about these arguments, because I see the existence of the [word is unintelligible] as a nightmare! Because, far from being good, on the actual record, and if you say, only Calvinists believe this, I can refer you to the passages in Aquinas where he says that God created people, and is the ultimate cause, including of the behavior for which he is proposing to torture them forever!â€That's 120 words that the book completely just banishes into the void, and that's only from this section. I haven't even gone through the rest of the book, who knows what other things Flew said that Ankerberg didn't like, so he just cut them out? It should really bother Christians who believe they have a logical and rational position that Ankerberg felt like he needed to resort to such cheap methods to make his side look like the stronger one. The thing is, even when you're watching the original video, calling this a debate is being generous. I don't mind the unstructured, conversational style, in fact, I generally prefer it. But when the moderator of the discussion has a clear and admitted bias, then it's very easy for him to steer the conversation in the direction that's more favorable to his side. As such, this is less of a debate, and more of an interview with Habermas (the Christian debater), where the moderator occasionally gives Flew brief chances to offer weak rebuttals so that Habermas can tell him why he's obviously wrong. It's a tribute to Flew's English politeness that he was such a good sport about this, because he's basically just an unwitting pawn to make Habermas' arguments look like they can stand up to critical review (but only because Flew's critical review is not very strong).Besides the fact that, as another reviewer pointed out, it's basically two-on-one, Habermas also has the advantage of much greater specialization on the subject. Habermas is presented as the foremost expert on the evidence for Jesus' resurrection, while Flew is just a general sort of atheist-philosopher. (True, he did have a previous debate with Habermas about the resurrection, but that doesn't make him an expert, and it was fifteen years ago.) That's like if an all-star baseball player beat a soccer player in a home run derby, and acted like that proved he was a better athlete. All it really proves is that you picked an opponent who isn't as familiar with your particular game. It's another shining example of Christians basically just putting on an act to present the *illusion* of respectable rationality, while actually stacking the deck firmly in their own favor. And that's just the original video! And now we add to that the fact that Ankerberg is going back through the transcript after the fact and removing anything Flew says that he doesn't care for? How tenuous is the Christian position that they have to resort to such methods?
I enjoyed the way the book was written as a debate. The two philosophers presented very interesting views from both sides. I recommend it!
