  • Deeper Waters Podcast 9/29/2018: Ross Hickling

    Ready to examine Richard Carrier?

    Link

    ----

    What's coming up? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.

    Evidence. We all say we want it, but do we really? If we get evidence, do we know how to evaluate it? What are the standards of legal investigation that are to be used for a claim? Can we use these on historical claims?

    And what of the skeptics of the faith? On the internet, Richard Carrier is one of the big ones that comes up. While he is indeed well-known on the internet, outside of the internet he's not having the impact he would like to have. His big book on doubting the existence of the historical Jesus really didn't get much notice.

    That's most scholars. Not all are like that. There is one who decided to look at this internet blogger and see what he was saying. He took the work of Carrier and subjected it to tests based on his life in law enforcement and evaluating evidence. He focused mainly on the resurrection of Jesus. Does Carrier's case against it hold up? He concludes no. His name is Ross Hickling, but who is he?

    According to his bio:

    As one who has spent a lot of time arguing with mythicists, which gets more and more pointless, I have always been interested in excellent critiques of those proponents of it and while Hickling doesn't really take those on, his insights are still great to have. We will be talking about such things as evidence for the resurrection, the appearances of Jesus the disciples claimed to experience, and pagan copycats. I hope you'll be listening and please go on iTunes and leave a positive review of the Deeper Waters Podcast!

    In Christ,
    Nick Peters
