Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?

How can a respected scientist believe in the resurrection? Can I trust the Bible's account that Jesus actually rose from the dead? If the resurrection really occurred, of what importance is it to you and me? Our ready embrace of the authority of science has left many doubting that Jesus's resurrection was a verifiable, historical event. Yet Thomas Miller, an experienced scientist and well-respected surgeon, challenges the notion that modern medicine has disproved the possibility of the resurrection. Through careful investigation of the evidence and evaluation of its reliability, Dr. Miller demonstrates that science and religion are not incompatible and makes a compelling case for the reality of the resurrection.

Thomas A. Miller (MD, Temple University Medical School) has had a distinguished career in surgery spanning more than thirty-five years. Previously serving on the surgical faculties of the University of Texas (Houston) and Saint Louis University, he is currently professor of surgery at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. In addition to being an active clinical surgeon and educator, he has also been a long-term, established investigator involved in original research concerning various aspects of digestive function, much of it funded by the National Institutes of Health. He is the author of more than two hundred scientific papers and the editor of three textbooks on physiology.
