What Jesus Said About Resurrection (Re-Airing)

Day of Discovery has a 2-part series entitled, "What Jesus Said About Resurrection." I was interviewed mainly for my research of the pagan myths as you will hear in the video. For more in-depth details about the pagan myth argument, please see my chapter in the new book: "Come Let Us Reason" -editors William Lane Craig and Paul Copan.  The Day of Discovery episodes will be re-airing on Sunday, April 1st (Part 1) and Sunday, April 8th (Part 2) on ION TV.  

Following is a brief description of the program:

Travel to Israel with Mart DeHaan and hear from scholars and authorities in the field of New Testament studies as they explore Jesus’ claims and examine the evidence for his resurrection. In this 2-part DVD, you’ll see Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified and buried, and Bethany where, according to the Gospels, he was last seen on earth. Decide for yourself whether or not the resurrection of Jesus is the single most important event in history.

As a reminder Day of Discovery can be seen on Ion TV Sundays at 7:30 a.m. Eastern and Pacific, and 6:30 a.m. Central and Mountain time. A listing of local station air times can be found by visiting the Web site at www.dod.org and following the “Where to Watch” link in the left column. Additionally, the program is available to view at no cost via their Web site.

No. 5 Road

This past week, I spoke at the Apologetics Canada Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.  On our way back from the conference, Roger and I spotted an unusual group of buildings.  A church, a mosque, a temple?  A Jewish school?  Now, this wouldn't be so unusual, but they were literally right next to each other, all within about a mile.  Allow me to introduce one of the unofficial 'Seven Wonders of Canada,' No. 5 Road.

Look What I Found in Canada, eh!

This past weekend, I spoke at the Apologetics Canada Conference in British Columbia. At one of the host homes, I happened to see a copy of the brand new apologetics book, “Come Let Us Reason." The book is a compilation of many authors writing on various apologetics topics.  It includes J.P. Moreland (“Four Degrees of Postmodernism”), William Lane Craig (“Objections So Bad That I Couldn’t Have Made Them Up”), Gary R. Habermas (“How to Respond When God Gives You the Silent Treatment”), Craig Keener (“Gospel Truth: The Historical Reliability of the Gospels”), Paul Copan (“Does the Old Testament Endorse Slavery?”), plus many more.  I contributed a chapter titled, "Does the Story of Jesus Mimic Pagan Mystery Stories?"  I hadn’t actually seen a hard copy of the book yet.  I guess I had to go to a different country just to get a look at one! Haha!  You can reserve your own copy via Broadman & Holman Publishers.
