If Alter is not seriously considered by historians, it seems irresponsible for a Christian like Torley to write a review boldly proclaiming that the historical case for the Resurrection is done with. I assume that Torley is not a historian or expert in this area. Did he even try to ask others’ opinion of the arguments before writing that long essay? The analogy would be if a Christian biologist read the God Delusion and proclaimed that Dawkins has demolished the philosophical case for God’s existence.
