Dr. Gary Habermas is one of the foremost experts in the world regarding the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He has debated, written, and discussed on this topic in numerous books, publications, and interviews; some of which are listed below.
Dr. Habermas is most likely best known for his "minimal facts" argument for the resurrection of Jesus. However, he has also written and spoke extensively on how to deal with doubt and near-death experiences.
Not only is Dr. Habermas a scholar of the first rank, but he also lives out what he believes. He has often been commended by even his opponents of being a genuine, caring individual.
