1. For example, see the volume by Habermas and Licona, The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus.
2. For the hallucination and other similar views, see Gary R. Habermas, “Explaining Away Jesus' Resurrection: The Recent Revival of Hallucination Theories,” Christian Research Journal, Vol. 23 (2001), pp. 26–31, 47–49. (See www. garyhabermas.com under “Articles.”)
3. The sources in the last chapter will also provide additional details for these points.
4. Many of our points concern Paul's view, for it is by far the chief critical focus. That the Gospels teach bodily resurrection appearances is not challenged.
5. In Acts 23:6–9, Luke reports that Paul claimed to still be a Pharisee, specifically identifying with their view of bodily resurrection.
