The Publication Of Mike Licona's Dissertation On The Resurrection

"I just signed a contract with IVP Academic to publish my dissertation. Needless to say, I'm very excited. Few have their dissertations published and IVP is an outstanding publisher. The book will probably be between 600-700 pages and will appear in paperback. The projected sales price is $39.95. It is projected to be available first at the ETS/SBL annual meetings in Atlanta next November." (Mike Licona)

And for those who missed it, see here regarding an upcoming series of books on the resurrection by Gary Habermas.

    Hi Jason,

    Would you mind recommending a few books to me? It's kinda strange, but since 2005, in my non-fiction reading, I've been (more or less) sticking with one closely related web of subjects a year, as far as serious study is concerned. This year, I want to focus on Historical Jesus studies, the Resurrection, and the reliability of New Testament.

    I feel almost ashamed that I know so little of these subjects. I've read the Case for Christ, Jesus Under Fire, and the relevant chapters in Craig's Reasonable Faith, but that about it. As a result, what apologetic ability I have is very unbalanced. Becoming at least competent in the above mentioned areas would obviously be a step in correcting that deficiency, and any help in that direction would be much appreciated.

    (Of course, recommendations from Steve, or any other Christian who knows what they're talking about would be equally appreciated.)

    Take care and Happy New Year!

    -Chris

    Hi Chris,

    For entry- or mid-level material, you could start with Gary Habermas and Michael Licona, The Case For The Resurrection Of Jesus (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Kregel Publications, 2004) and J. Ed Komoszewski, et al., Reinventing Jesus (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Kregel Publications, 2006). For something more advanced, I'd recommend Richard Bauckham, Jesus And The Eyewitnesses (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmans, 2006) and Paul Eddy and Gregory Boyd, The Jesus Legend (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Baker Academic, 2007).

    For Steve Hays' book recommendations, see the BIBLIOPHILE section here.

    There's a lot of good material online as well. For our Easter material, see here. On Christmas, here. On the New Testament canon (including one article addressing the Old Testament), here. On the textual transmission of the New Testament, I wrote a three-part series last year: part one, part two, and part three. There's a lot of other material in our archives as well, and other sites have a lot of good material.
