CHAPTER 7: The Case Against the Swoon Theory by Habermas and Licona

I have completed a DRAFT of my book (now ten chapters):

This is a PDF of the current DRAFT of

CHAPTER 7: The Case Against the Swoon Theory by Habermas and Licona

Gary Habermas and Michael Licona make a case against the Swoon Theory in Chapter 5 of their book The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus (hereafter: CRJ).  Their case consists of three parts:

Part #1: The Scourging and Crucifixion of Jesus

Part #2: Strauss's Critique of the Swoon Theory

Part #3: The Transformation of Paul's Worldview

In this chapter, I show that each part of their case fails, and thus that their case fails to refute the Swoon Theory,  just like Kreeft and Tacelli's case failed, just like William Craig's case failed.
