The XTalk Seminar with Professor Gerd Ludemann is a moderated, online, three week long forum whose aim is to provide a platform for exchanges between approved Seminar members and Professor Ludemann on the issues and arguments contained in his recent publication _The Resurrection of Christ: A Historical Inquiry_ (Prometheus Books, 2004).

The Seminar will begin on Sunday, January 2nd, 2005, and run until Saturday, January 22nd, 2005.

So as to be managed effectively, the Seminar will be conducted on a subscription only basis.

Questions and comments submitted to the Seminar by approved Seminar members will be subject to selection by the Seminar's moderators.

Posts sent to Professor Ludemann will be answered by him on a daily basis.

Topics for discussion are the issues and arguments raised in Professor Ludemann's book _The Resurrection of Christ_. Therefore the major prerequisite for anyone wishing to participate in the Seminar is familiarity with the contents and theses of this work.

PLEASE NOTE that while applications for membership in the Seminar are being accepted immediately, posts to Professor Ludemann via the Seminar are not. Nothing should be sent in to the Seminar until the eve of its opening day, Sunday, January 2nd, 2005.
