Resurrection debate: Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?

Michael Licona, author and New Testament historian, and Richard Carrier, author and speaker, will debate the question of the resurrection - if Jesus rose from the dead - at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, in Washburn Room A, Memorial Union, Washburn University. The event is free and open to the public.

Licona wrote “The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus.” He also was interviewed by Lee Strobel in his book, “The Case for the Real Jesus,” and Stobel’s video, “The Case for Christ.”

Carrier is a professional historian, published philosopher, and prominent defender of the American free thought movement. He has appeared across the country and on national television defending sound historical methods and the ethical worldview of secular nationalism.

Washburn University’s student organization, Christian Challenge, and the Atheist Community of Topeka are sponsoring the event. For more information, contact Craig Freerksen at (785) 806-4255.
