Was Jesus a Myth? James White vs. Dan Barker

Image via Wikipedia

I'm amazed. James White has posted his debate with Dan Barker from last Saturday. The question they were talking about  is :"Was Jesus a Myth?". I'm going to post my own review when I see the whole thing, but I wanted to post the debate first!

This debate took place on September 26, 2009, in Newberg, Oregon, between Dan Barker of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries.

Michael Licona Answering Bart Ehrman Interview MP3 & Video - Apologetics 315

I was so happy to find this on Apologetics 315. It's a frank discussion on the work of Bart Ehrman. from someone who has debated him twice, Mike Licona. Licona discusses what Ehrman has gone on record saying and writing (things that I have heard himself say). Licona also does a great job putting Ehrman's work in a historical conference. Some people who think that Bart Ehrman is unchallenged and Christians have no answers the problems he raises, but this is not true. Here is a great discussion about why Ehrman draws wrong conclusions from correct data that everyone agrees with. Here is the post from Apologetics 315 below and the video!

Here is a high quality video interview with New Testament scholar Mike Licona discussing the work of Bart Ehrman. From 4truth.net:

Bart Ehrman is perhaps the most influential skeptical New Testament scholar in North America. Several of Ehrman's books have become standard textbooks in many universities. His skepticism is not well-founded, however. This interview features New Testament scholar Mike Licona who answers a number of Ehrman's major contentions.

Apologetics 315 provides this as a full MP3 Audio file here. (47 minutes)
Videos here. Lots of Licona debates here.

Enjoy.

Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: The Nation of a Thousand Gods

One of the best things about the Internet is that we have access to blogs and websites by scholars who can post their thoughts and ideas without having to publish whenever they want to. This is something that can't be ignored or taken for granted. For example I have found the blog of Dr. Claude Mariottini who is a Professor of the Old Testamhent at Northern Baptist Seminary. I'm excited because he posted this article about the Hittites. He is an acknowledged expert on these people who until the twentieth century, many scholars began to think were mythological. This post is great!
