It is unusual to write a review of two books at the same time. My intent, however, is to not write complete reviews of these two works, but to write a brief review of how the lessons they contain overlap in support of the apologetic enterprise. I’m intending this to be the first of three brief papers. The second, like this, will look at two otherwise unconnected works and discuss how they overlap: a well established work by NT Wright, The New Testament and the People of God (1992), and a new release from Gary Habermas, On The Resurrection Volume 1: Evidences (2024). The third essay will examine how all four works together strengthen Christian confidence in the stories of the Resurrection as God’s transformative act in history.
