I'm going to read The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus, by Gary Habermas. Can you please tell me which book you think would be the strongest, most direct counterpoint to the Habermas book?
Why are you going to read a book with an immediate desire to rebut it?
I think you'd be best going through the reviews in the Amazon listing. Very likely, someone will list the problems in the book and/or suggest counter-reading.
Hi Keith, I just wanted to try to look at both sides of this topic.
Then it seems odd you'd pick one book from one side... I'd have asked for suggestions for both sides. Or a websites collating the best arguments.
But that's me doing me. You gotta d o you, but it seems odd.
BTW I came over to this site because one of the reviewers of the Habermas (or similar) book mentioned this site as a good place to get other perspectives. And then I read on wikipedia that Habermas said this site is one of the main websites for skeptics. Anyway, thanks for your input.
For a good site try debunking-Christianity.com, blog of John Loftus. Loftus, an ex-minister has written extensively on these things. For another side, try Reasonable Faith, the site of William Craig Lane. Loftus is an ex-student of WLC's.
There is a long running video series, "Closer To Truth" available of Youtube. Host Robert Lawrence Kuhn interviews numerous theologians, philosophers, atheists and scientists about religious issues and where philosophy and science intersect with religion. Well worth dipping into. R.L. Kuhn asks pointed questions about all of this from noted experts. (And some who really aren't despite their reputations.)
