Colliding with Christ Seminar at New Life Church

On a warm, Spring evening in Colorado Springs, a group of Christians interested in scientific evidence for their faith met at New Life Church to hear Dr. R.C. Metcalf present a seminar on his latest book, Colliding with Christ: The Science of the Resurrection. The event lasted two hours, which included some excellent questions that stimulated thoughtful discussion. The local chapter of Reasons to Believe hosted Dr. Metcalf, who agreed to offer the seminar again in the Fall due to the tremendous interest expressed by those who were in attendance. Check the Calendar at http://www.thinkagain.us/ for further information. The event will be posted as soon as a date is arranged. Also, look for another exciting Fall event in Colorado Springs which is currently being planned!

The following video offers a segment of the seminar in which Dr. Metcalf addresses the indiscernibility of Jesus during His post-Resurrection appearances, a topic rarely approached by modern apologists.


R.C. Metcalf v. Dan Barker Debate at Tufts

It was as perfect a day in Boston as one could imagine. Dan Barker, President of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, the largest atheist organization in America, faced RC Metcalf on the question, "Did Jesus Rise From the Dead?" Approximately 75 people were in attendance at the event, which was hosted by the Tufts University Freethought Society. Dr. Metcalf's opening statement drew upon the evidence presented in his latest book, Colliding with Christ, and is presented here in four parts.
