Was the resurrection of Jesus a fact of history or a figment of imagination? Was it an event that entailed a raised and transformed body and an empty tomb? Or was it a subjective, visionary experience--a collective delusion? In the view of many, the truth of Christianity hangs on the answer to this question.
Jesus' Resurrection: Fact or Figment? is a lively and provocative debate between Christian philosopher and apologist William Lane Craig and New Testament scholar and atheist Gerd L demann.
This published version of a debate originally set at Boston College is edited by Paul Copan and Ronald K.
Tacelli, who invite the responses of four additional scholars.
Robert Gundry, a New Testament scholar, and Stephen Davis, a philosopher, argue in support of a historical and actual resurrection.
Michael Goulder and Roy Hoover, both New Testament scholars, offer their support for Gerd L demann's view that the resurrection was based on the guilt-induced visionary experience of the disciples.
The book concludes with a final response from L demann and Craig.
