Did Jesus Rise from the Dead? Richard Carrier debates William Lane Craig

I have corrected the audio in this video so that it features left and right audio. This makes it great to listen to with headphones, as I often do. There are still a couple sections that the sound gets weird but I couldn’t do much to fix it and it only lasts for 5 minutes or so. Northwestern Missouri State University – March 18, 2009. Richard Carrier and William Lane Craig both present arguments for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus in the Christian tradition. Dr. William Lane Craig is Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California and is arguably the foremost Christian apologist in the world today. As well as being author or editor of over thirty books, and author of nearly 200 peer-reviewed academic articles in professional journals of theology and philosophy, he is well known for his many public debates with atheists, agnostics and skeptics. Dr. Richard Carrier is a world-renowned author and speaker. As a professional historian, published philosopher, and prominent defender of the American free thought movement, Dr. Carrier has appeared across the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and on American television and London radio, defending sound historical methods and the ethical worldview of secular naturalism. His books and articles have received international attention. With a Ph.D. from Columbia University in ancient history, he specializes in the intellectual history of Greece and Rome, particularly ancient philosophy, religion, and science, with emphasis on the origins of Christianity and the use and progress of science under the Roman empire.
