William Craig's Objections to the Swoon Theory FAIL

THREE OBJECTIONS TO THE SWOON THEORY FROM WILLIAM CRAIG

In his book The Son Rises (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1981; hereafter: TSR), the Christian apologist William Craig raises three objections against the Swoon Theory:

Craig’s Objection #1: Jesus’ Physical Injuries
Craig’s Objection #2: The Deceptive Jesus Objection
Craig’s Objection #3: The Sickly Jesus Objection

Craig’s Objection #3 is the same objection as Objection #5 by the Christian apologists Peter Kreeft and Ronald Tacelli in their Handbook of Christian Apologetics, which I have previously shown was a FAILURE:

Craig’s Objection #1 (Jesus’ Physical Injuries) is probably the most important objection that has been raised by Christian apologists against the Swoon Theory, but I have recently shown that this objection also FAILS:

That leaves one more objection from The Son Rises to analyze and evaluate: Craig’s Objection #2 (The Deceptive Jesus Objection).  Here is my careful analysis of that objection:
