“This is most definitely a five-star course. It presents the facts and circumstances around the resurrection, and gives the evidence to conclude that Jesus was the Son of God, that he died for our sins, and that he rose again. My faith was well-grounded before taking this course, but I'm a "facts-and-circumstances" kind of guy. This course has helped me organize in my own mind the events surrounding the resurrection. I'm able to recognize and refute bogus arguments against the Risen Christ. Great course. Time well spent. Five stars plus. ,”

“I would certainly give it 5 stars. As a lifelong Christian that has always "believed" in the resurrection, I have never been asked to defend it and so I really knew very little about it other than what the Bible says. So I did realize how little I knew about the evidence for it. Gary Habermas' lessons were very thorough and having the notes to follow made it easier for it to "sink in." So while I probably couldn't explain the reasons very well, I at least know where to go to get the evidence.”
