Death—and what lies beyond—is not something most consider every day. But the thought of it raises some intriguing questions about the afterlife, near death experiences, and heaven and hell.
By sharing the very latest scientific, philosophical, anthropological, ethical, and theological research on death and the afterlife, noted Christian scholars Gary Habermas and J.P. Moreland present a strong case for immortality. They begin by taking up the question of whether life after death is real and what evidence supports its reality. They then explore what the afterlife is like and go on to show how having this reality in your future should affect the way you live here and now. Beyond Death is an excellent aid in developing a serious biblical and rational defense for belief in life beyond the grave.
J.P. Moreland is distinguished professor of philosophy at Biola University’s Talbot School of Theology, and the director of Eidos Christian Center. He has written more than 100 articles in magazines and journals and authored or coauthored over 20 books, including Love Your God with All Your Mind, Scaling the Secular City: A Defense of Christianity, and The Lost Virtue of Happiness: Discovering the Disciplines of the Good Life.
Did Jesus Rise from the Dead? presents the 1985 debate between Gary Habermas and Antony Flew on the seminal event of Christianity. Touching on evidence from both science and philosophy, these eminent scholars passionately debate the question of whether the physical resurrection of Jesus should be accepted as historical fact.
Representing diametrically opposed viewpoints, Habermas and Flew survey the documentary and physical evidence surrounding the events of the first Easter. They discuss how this material has been assessed through the centuries and explain why they feel that the weight of the evidence supports or denies that Jesus rose from the dead.
An illuminating introduction sets the stage for this brilliant exchange, during which both scholars put forth their cases and offer a response to the other’s presentation.
