William Lane Craig vs. Bart Ehrman : Is There Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus?

Topic: The historical case for the bodily resurrection of Jesus

Debaters: Dr. William Lane Craig vs. Dr. Bart Ehrman (New Testament scholar, University of North Carolina)

Held at the College of the Holy Cross in 2006, this debate is a cornerstone resource for resurrection apologetics. Craig presented the standard "minimal facts" case: Jesus's death by crucifixion, the empty tomb, the post-mortem appearances, and the origin of the disciples' belief in the resurrection. Ehrman's central objection was methodological — that historians, by definition, cannot establish a miracle as the "most probable" explanation for any event. A clear, accessible introduction to the historiography debate underlying almost every resurrection discussion since.
