HOLMEN, Wis., Oct. 26, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Noted Christian historian and apologist Dr. Gary Habermas will present two lectures on the historical Jesus and the evidence for the resurrection on November 1st and 2nd, 2011. The lectures are open to the public and will be held online, allowing people from around the world to attend right from their home or work computers.

The lectures are being offered through Athanatos Christian Ministry's Academy of Apologetics in association with its course on the historical Jesus. ACM makes use of an online conferencing platform that allows a high level of interaction with fellow participants and the lecturers.

ACM's Executive Director Anthony Horvath says, "Each 90 minute session will begin with Dr. Habermas giving a presentation for about an hour and then another 30 minutes for questions and answers and discussion. Our chat interface allows for real time interaction between our guests and Dr. Habermas, which is something a lot of online presentations don't allow."

The lectures represent ACM's mission to equip believers in the important facts and evidences that point to Christianity being true and not merely a matter of one's personal opinion.

Horvath explains, "If we're right, then it is a fact of history that there was a man who claimed to be God who proved he really was by rising from the dead, as he said he would. We must 'follow the evidence' even if we find the implications uncomfortable. If Christianity is actually true, that changes everything. Habermas is going to show how this is precisely the case... and let the chips fall where they may."

There is a small cost of admission to participate in the lectures and registration is required.
