Synopsis

Unraveling the evidence for the Resurrection
This thoughtful work surveys key historical claims about Jesus’ death and the events following it. It weighs witness accounts, the emptiness of the tomb, and the earliest appearances, while examining how these elements shape the church’s early faith.

The author tests competing explanations, including visions and bodily resurrection, and explains why a bodily resurrection is the view most closely aligned with the Gospel record and early Christian testimony. The analysis stays grounded in historical method, considering what can be known from the sources and what remains uncertain.

• How the empty tomb and early appearances are interpreted across the Gospel accounts


• Arguments for and against the vision theory of the Risen Jesus


• Discussion of the timeline, places of appearance, and the role of Jerusalem and Galilee

Ideal for readers of Christian theology, church history, and anyone exploring how the resurrection message grew in the early church.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Christian Faith that has caused so much difficulty to the belief of the modern man as that of the Resurrection of Jesus. The advance of science in our days seems to leave no room for miracle, especially for such a miracle as the resurrection of the dead to a new bodily life. And yet the question here is not of a miracle which could be put aside as unhistorical, without essential deduction from the apostolic Gospel. The church has always considered the resurrection of Jesus as a principal part of her message. The apostle Paul occasionally describes Christian saving faith in the words: Thou believest in thine heart that God hath raised Jesus from the dead (R om. 10. 9) ;and he also says directly: If Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain ... ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished (i Cor. 15. 14, 17, 18).
