WHY DID MILLER REJECT CHRISTIANITY AND
APOLOGETICS?

1. He saw members of other faiths who were just as
convinced of their beliefs

2. Came to accept value in non-literalistic faith (can
fiction express truth? Yes.)

3. Came to realize few accepted faith based on
arguments

Miller conclusion: Apologetics does not work on
outsiders

BLOMBERG PERCPECTIVE

1. Craig overstates his case-he makes it sound
stronger than it is

2. Craig and Crosson talk across purposes, they don't
hit the issues.

-Craig on Crosson- you have a Peter Pan theology

-Crosson on Craig-you are a naive literalist-think a
historical Semaritian is necessary for the story to have
value


BORG PERCPECTIVE

1. We can believe in the resurrection in a metaphorical
sense and it's still meaningful

--Resuscitation-a body coming alive after being dead

--resurrection-the "spirt" of a persons' life and
teachings being present

Instructor noted that this kind of resurrection can
happen with anyone, no empty tomb is needed

Objections: Why are the empty tomb stories are in all
the gospels? Why are they apart of early Christian
teaching?
