Synopsis

Does the claim that Jesus rose from the dead stand up to evidence and reason?

This book makes the historic case for the resurrection, written to help honest skeptics weigh the facts with clarity and care.

In thoughtful, accessible terms, it surveys the main questions about Jesus’ death and reported resurrection. It contrasts different explanations, from fraud and swoon theories to myth and miracle, and it uses early Christian writings and external history to test the claims. The author argues that the resurrection is central to Christian faith and examines why many scholars and believers find the case compelling.

• Evaluates competing explanations for the Easter events and why they matter to the facts of history.
• Examines the reliability of the gospel accounts and the role of eyewitness testimony.
• Discusses how early Christian belief formed and why it persisted in the face of opposition.
• Offers a measured approach to skeptical doubt, evidence, and reasonable conclusions.

Ideal for readers curious about biblical history, apologetics, and how historical method applies to religious claims.
