Works

I am the author of UFOs, Ghosts, and a Rising God: Debunking the Resurrection of Jesus, which is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Dr. Richard C. Carrier, author of Sense and Goodness Without God, describes it as “A must-read study of the rise of myths, miracles, and legends, exposing the bulwark of fallacies on which Christian apologetics is now built.”

If you’d like to know about the origins of Christianity but don’t know where to start, or if you’ve heard about how Christianity can be historically proven and are wondering if that’s true, this is the book for you. There is a Facebook group for those who want more information, or who want to be a part of the effort to get the word out about the book.

For people in the media and leaders of local freethought (or religious!) groups, yes, I am available for interviews, lectures, and debates on the topic of the book, and possibly related topics.

Other things I’m doing/have done: You can find me on Google Buzz by searching “Chris Hallquist.” I use Buzz for quick thoughts and links, often outside my area of expertise, that don’t really deserve a blog post.

I contributed a chapter to The Onion and Philosophy edited by Sharon Kaye. Not only is there no Amazon page for it yet, but Sharon tells me the book will be out late ‘09-early ‘10.

I wrote a fairly extensive critical review of William Lane Craig’s book Reasonable Faith for Internet Infidels, aka the Secular Web. I’ve also written a couple of minor articles for the Secular Web Kiosk.

Finally, here’s a slightly more academic pieces I’ve written: the essay that won my department’s prize in ethics for 2008:

• Genocide and Omnipotence
• this.

  And obviously, I blog here; my old blog is located at http://uncrediblehallq.blogspot.com/.
