More About the Author

I am the Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California. With my wife Jan, we have two grown children.

At the age of sixteen as a junior in high school, I first heard the message of the Christian gospel and yielded my life to Christ. I pursued undergraduate studies at Wheaton College (B.A. 1971) and graduate studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A. 1974; M.A. 1975), the University of Birmingham (England) (Ph.D. 1977), and the University of Munich (Germany) (D.Theol. 1984). From 1980-86 I taught Philosophy of Religion at Trinity, during which time we started our family. In 1987 we moved to Brussels, Belgium, where I pursued research at the University of Louvain until assuming my position at Talbot in 1994.

I have authored or edited over thirty books, including The Kalam Cosmological Argument; Assessing the New Testament Evidence for the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus; Divine Foreknowledge and Human Freedom; Theism, Atheism and Big Bang Cosmology; and God, Time and Eternity, as well as over a hundred articles in professional journals of philosophy and theology, including Philosophia Christi, The Journal of Philosophy, New Testament Studies, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, American Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophical Studies, Philosophy, and British Journal for Philosophy of Science.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent debate, January 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Will the Real Jesus Please Stand-Up! (Audio Cassette)

Waaooh, this is a must. Unfortunately the debate is not yet in print, one has to be content with Moreland's "Jesus under Fire", for example.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Debate on the Resurrection, December 19, 1997

Dr. John Dominic Crossan is the co-chairman of the media darlings known as the Jesus Seminar. Dr. William Craig is (in my opinion) the best Christian apologist of the late 20th century who has specialized his theological research on the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus in 3 major academic books. The give and take of this debate much favored Craig in which he clearly won. Craig argued two major contentions: 1. Jesus rose from the dead and confirmed his claims to act in the place of God. 2. If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, then belief in him is a fairytale and equivalent to an irrational faith of Peter-Pan theology. Crossan never seems to address point 2 at all in the debate. In fact, Crossan thinks that one should just go on believing in Christ even though , according to Crossan, Jesus never rose from the dead bodily and was probably eaten by dogs. One wonders who is the one with the irrational faith? Listeners will enjoy the 40 minute dialogue section in which William F. Buckley participates in.

5.0 out of 5 stars A facinating interchange between a liberal and conservative, November 28, 1997

By 

David Anderson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Will the Real Jesus Please Stand-Up! (Audio Cassette)

An entertaining debate between a liberal and a conservative christian. Craig presents the most powerful case for the historicity of the New testament canon. While Crossan chose not to engage Craig in any of his main contentions. Crossan really seemed to merely pick and choose the arguments he found congent. I felt Craig througly demolished Crossan. If your a conservative christian you'll enjoy the pathetic lengths Crossan has to resort to in order to explain the virgin birth, miracles, and the resurrection of Christ away. It was a joy to listen to.
