Do Naturalistic Alternatives to the Resurrection Work? with Dr. Gary Habermas



If God exists and Jesus rose from the dead, then Christianity is true. Case closed! However, there are still those who offer alternative explanations for the empty tomb despite the evidence for the resurrection. What are these theories and do they withstand critical analysis?



This week, Frank sits down with Dr. Gary Habermas, the world’s leading resurrection scholar to discuss, 'On the Resurrection: Refutations', the second volume of his magnum opus--a massive 4-volume project nearly 40 years in the making. From second-century texts that seem to challenge the resurrection to modern skeptical scholars like Bart Ehrman, Gary will uncover why naturalistic explanations for the empty tomb simply don’t hold up. Tune in as Frank and Gary answer questions like:


  1. Who was David Hume and why do so many modern atheists still lean on his centuries-old arguments?
  2. What was Hume’s actual argument against miracles, and how did C.S. Lewis respond?
  3. Are there any good arguments for naturalism or materialism?
  4. Why did former skeptic Antony Flew become a theist before he died?
  5. What are the top 5 reasons naturalistic explanations for the resurrection fail?
  6. What are the 4 best arguments in favor of an afterlife?


If you’re looking for the most well-researched scholarship to refute common resurrection objections, you won’t find a better resource than this! Be sure to pick up your own copies of Gary's amazing work and stay tuned for the next podcast where he’ll return to discuss even more insights from his life’s work on the resurrection!

Led by Dr. Frank Turek and a team of Christian apologists, CrossExamined addresses the alarming fact that 3 out of 4 Christian youth leave the church during college, often due to intellectual skepticism. In addition to I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, CrossExamined tackles other relevant topics like Correct, Not Politically Correct and Stealing From God. Our live and self-paced online courses provide even deeper insights into the evidence for your faith.
