| − | '''Gary Habermas''' (born 1950) is a professor and department chairperson in the areas of philosophy and theology at Liberty University in Virginia. He is best known for his work in [[Christian apologetics]], specifically in his historical defenses of the [[Resurrection]] of [[Jesus]]. Habermas wrote his doctoral thesis on this subject. What is notable was that he did so at a secular school ([[Michigan]] State University), using his "minimal facts" method in which he defends the Resurrection using only historical facts that the vast majority of historians agree with. [http://www.garyhabermas.com/vitainnuce.htm] Habermas, who went through a ten-year period of religious uncertainty in his youth, has also written two books on the issue of religious doubt: ''Dealing With Doubt'' and ''The Thomas Factor: Using Your Doubts to Grow Closer to God''. The texts of both books are available on his personal websites.
