"Loke: Investigating the Resurrection"

Andrew Loke has several lengthy responses to critics of his new book Investigating the Resurrection in this thread. That said, there's a mixture of things with which I'd agree and things with which I'd disagree.

Loke's book is currently free on Amazon Kindle as well as on his Academia.edu (pdf).

  1. First book I put on my new Kindle. The price, of course, helped.

  2. The Faizal guy reminds me of McGrew's quip of having an unfalsifiable position. If it's true, how would you know?

    1. That's a good point!

    2. He seems to need God to constantly be raising people from the dead for him to believe Jesus could be raised from the dead. Which would remove any evidential value to it. Jesus is back? Oh well, sometimes these things happen.

    3. Without methodological naturalism, anything goes. It's like he's quoting McGrew.

    4. It's always weird when you see what might be caricatures of an opposing view...is an accurate representation of it.

    5. I only got to stuff 5 days old. Their best offense seemed to be dismissiveness. https://i.imgur.com/Ro8ExUa.jpg Maybe they'll have something thoughtful later on when I continue later (reading/watching debates is stressful).
