Explore the evidence behind the Resurrection with a careful, critical look at the Emmaus narrative and related testimony.

This scholarly work examines how early Christian belief centered on the Resurrection and how reliable that belief appears when tested against the Gospel accounts and contemporary criticism. It discusses why the Resurrection mattered to the apostles, how witnesses framed their experiences, and what the competing theories have to say about the evidence.

The book engages with historical methods and psychology to distinguish personal experience from conjecture, offering a clear assessment of why belief in the Resurrection became a foundational element of Christian faith.

Clear discussion of the Galilean and Judaean traditions and their implications
Analysis of the witnesses, including the Apostles and early believers, and their testimony
Evaluation of common non-supernatural explanations and why they fall short
Consideration of how psychology informs the study of religious experience

Ideal for readers seeking a serious, evidence-based view of the Resurrection and its place in Christian history.
