Ehrman vs Craig: Evidence for Resurrection

On March 28, 2006 at the College of the Holy Cross, 1 College Street, Worcester, Massachusetts, Dr. Bart D. Ehrman and Dr. William Lane Craig debate “Is There Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus?” Bart claims that a miraculous event like the resurrection of Jesus is so improbable that the historian could never justifiably adopt such an explanation of the fate of Jesus of Nazareth. Dr. Craig attempts to expose what he calls two critical mistakes in Ehrman's reasoning which he calls "Ehrman's Egregious Error" and "Bart's Blunder."
