★★★★★ 5
Do not fear studying this topic, nor encountering objectors to the truth.
Format: Paperback
The book is written so well. It provides incredible graphs that summarize each chapter and the premise of the book. Gary Habermas is a prolific author of this topic and has to be one of the greatest contemporary Christian historians. Additionally, Michael R. Licona who also is a fantastic author and apologist co-authors the book.
The book provides arguments that are accepted by the majority of historians as to the veracity of the resurrection account. The key to the book is it aids the defender of this truth to not have to include supporting the scripture as part of the argument which can allow the arguer a way to bypass indisputable truths. Early in the book, this is called the Five Facts ( 4 + 1) The first 4 are the strongest arguments and there's the additional Empty Tomb presentation as well.
The 4 are:
1. Jesus' Death by Crucifixion
2. Disciples' BELIEFS that Jesus Appeared
3. Conversion of the Church Persecutor Paul
4. Conversion of the Skeptic James
These historical facts are clearly portrayed and defended and as the book continues arguments are supplied and answered.
Finally, there's a disc with the book "The Resurrection Challenge" !
