[Brian Chilton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thus far, Volume 3 is the best of Habermas’s magnum opus. All his works have been good, but this one is extremely useful. The volume offers numerous resources on different data points of Jesus’s resurrection. The text provides insights from both critical and orthodox scholars. “Scholarly Perspectives” is must-have for anyone interested in the research on the resurrection of Jesus.
