Dr Michael Licona to visit South Africa!

From the website of Mike Licona the following:

“Mike Licona has a Ph.D. in New Testament Studies (University of Pretoria), which he completed with distinction. He serves as research professor of New Testament at Southern Evangelical Seminary and as external research collaborator at North-West University (Potschefstroom). Mike was interviewed by Lee Strobel in his book The Case for the Real Jesus and appeared in Strobel's video The Case for Christ. He is the author of numerous books including The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach (IVP Academic, 2010), Paul Meets Muhammad (Baker, 2006), co-author with Gary Habermas of the award-winning book The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus (Kregel, 2004) and co-editor with William Dembski of Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy, and Science (Baker, 2010). Mike is a member of the Evangelical Philosophical Society, the Institute for Biblical Research, and the Society of Biblical Literature. He has spoken on more than 50 university campuses, and has appeared on dozens of radio and television programs.”

Dr. Michael Licona will be visiting South Africa from 18 September to 26 September. I know I have reported on this previously, but for those who can, and live around Gauteng (South Africa), it will be well worth the effort to hear Mike Licona speak. To find out where he will be speaking (and debating) visit my previous report on his visit!

Isn’t it interesting that he got his Ph.D from Tukkies and he is a research collaborator at Pukke?!
