Did Jesus of Nazareth really rise from the dead?

Of the many world religions, only one claims that its founder returned from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very cornerstone of Christianity.

Overview

Did Jesus of Nazareth really rise from the dead?

Of the many world religions, only one claims that its founder returned from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very cornerstone of Christianity.

But a dead man coming back to life? In our sophisticated age, when myth has given way to science, who can take such a claim seriously? Some argue that Jesus never died on the cross. Conflicting accounts make the empty tomb seem suspect. And post-crucifixion sightings of Jesus have been explained in psychological terms.

How credible is the evidence for---and against---the resurrection? Focusing his award-winning skills as a legal journalist on history's most compelling enigma, Lee Strobel retraces the startling findings that led him from atheism to belief. Drawing on expert testimony first shared in his blockbuster book The Case for Christ, Strobel examines:

The Medical Evidence---Was Jesus' death a sham and his resurrection a hoax?
The Evidence of the Missing Body---Was Jesus' body really absent from his tomb?
The Evidence of Appearances---Was Jesus seen alive after his death on the cross?

Written in a hard-hitting journalistic style, The Case for Easter probes the core issues of the resurrection. Jesus Christ, risen from the dead: superstitious myth or life-changing reality? The evidence is in. The verdict is up to you.

    HE IS RISEN!

    If you doubt or even if you believe in the resurrected Christ this book is great. The details and proof of the event are brought to light in a way that even the greatest atheist has to question! It made my Easter season and devotional time complete.

    Reason for the season

    This is one of those Christian books that really clearly identifies what our religious holidays are all about. We don't celebrate Easter because of a bunny, rather because of a certain miracle. When I'm reminded- especially in detail of what God and Jesus sacrificed for me, I stand in awe of the grandness that is God.

    Still no facts

    His books are preaching to those leaning on the fence or belivers. He is unable to convince a skeptic like me about jis assertions. His arguments are weak and lack follow up.
