Synopsis

Trial of the witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus examines the reasoning behind the claim of the resurrection and evaluates whether the available evidence can withstand critical scrutiny. The work is structured as a formal inquiry, using the format of a legal debate to explore how testimony, logic, and context shape the understanding of extraordinary events. It opens with a discussion among a group of acquaintances who reflect on recent arguments challenging the validity of miraculous accounts. What begins as a casual exchange gradually takes on a more serious tone as one participant agrees to defend the credibility of the resurrection against the objections that have been raised. The conversation becomes a measured exploration of what qualifies as reliable testimony, how contradictions or doubts should be weighed, and whether historical events can be reasonably affirmed through the standards of evidence. The narrative uses this evolving debate to highlight broader reflections on belief, inquiry, and the intellectual responsibilities involved in evaluating foundational religious claims.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Thomas Sherlock was a prominent figure in religious scholarship whose long service in the Church of England shaped his reputation as a leading voice in Christian thought. Born in London in 1678 to William Sherlock, he received his early education at Eton College before continuing his studies at St Catharines College, experiences that helped form the intellectual foundation for his later theological work. Over the course of thirty three years as a bishop, he played an influential role in church administration while becoming widely recognized for his engagement with questions of belief, reason, and the interpretation of sacred history. His contributions to Christian apologetics reflect a steady commitment to examining faith through structured argument and careful analysis, a method mirrored in works that frame religious inquiry through the lens of rational evaluation. His writings often highlight the need to reconcile conviction with thoughtful examination, a concern consistent with the broader themes explored in his theological reflections. He died on 18 July 1761 at the age of eighty three.
