Jesus Rose from the Dead. Or Did He? (Paperback)

Paperback. Jesus rose from the dead. Or did He?You believe in the Resurrection. But what happens when someone tells you the evidence is late, contradictory, unreliable-or simply not enough?Maybe you've encountered the challenge in a classroom, a debate, or the comments beneath a history video. The objection sounds confident. The arguments sound scholarly. And suddenly, you realize you're not quite sure how to answer.Jesus Rose from the Dead. Or Did He? was written for that moment.Rather than offering another collection of quick apologetic rebuttals, this book asks a deeper question: What can historical evidence actually prove about the Resurrection-and what lies beyond the limits of historical investigation?A camera left running at the tomb on Easter morning could have recorded a great deal. It could not have recorded the Resurrection itself. Understanding why changes the way the entire debate is approached.Through these pages, you will discover: The historical ground on which the Resurrection claim stands-including the Crucifixion, burial, empty tomb, and earliest testimonyHow to evaluate the most common skeptical arguments without dismissing difficult questionsHow thinkers such as Bart Ehrman and Richard Carrier challenge traditional Christian claims-and how those arguments can be examined fairlyWhat Bayesian probability arguments actually assume and where their conclusions can become misleadingHow to distinguish what history can establish from what ultimately belongs to faithDrawing on Scripture, Catholic teaching, historical reasoning, and serious engagement with skeptical objections, this book does not pretend that faith can be reduced to a mathematical proof.Instead, it offers something more durable: a framework for thinking clearly when your faith is challenged.Because the deepest question is not whether history has something to say about Easter.It is whether history has said everything it is capable of saying-and what you will do with the evidence that remains. When scholarly skepticism threatens to undermine ancient claims, this guide provides a framework to navigate the boundary between historical investigation and the mysteries of faith.
