Resurrection Research

25/3/2025

 
(This is a repost from 2013, with updated links.)
One can easily research Jesus’ resurrection. Mainstream media ignores it, but maybe just because it's such old news. :-) It is a matter of public record. Anyone can find sufficient historical evidence. Given the importance of the Resurrection, look into it for yourself - and live in the light of its implications.

Often you can follow the footnotes to primary sources:
  • Josh McDowell, “A Ready Defense,” “More than a Carpenter” and other resources
    • “Evidence for the Resurrection” by Josh McDowell
    • “If I Had Faked the Resurrection” by Josh McDowell
  • Jesus has Risen: The Evidence! by Sean McDowell
  • John Dickson, “Life of Jesus” Book and DVD
  • William Lane Craig, http://www.reasonablefaith.org/scholarly-articles
    • “The Guard at the Tomb” by William Lane Craig
  • http://www.leestrobel.com
  • Bill Bright, http://www.cru.org/how-to-know-god/jesus-and-the-intellectual/index.htm
  • “Quotes on the Resurrection” from a variety of authors
  • “The Resurrection: Fact or Fiction?” by Pat Zukeran
  • “A Response to The Lost Tomb of Jesus Documentary” by Charlie Campbell
  • creation.com has this useful video: https://creation.com/en-au/videos/CML-did-Jesus-really-rise-from-the-dead?
  • Even Wiki has enough.
  • Adrian Warnock, “Raised With Christ” pdf.
  • And enjoy this 6 mins from Lutheran Satire's Donall and Conall.
So enjoy looking around. And don’t worry when you bump into dissenting voices – they wont kill your faith. Their interpretations are not strong enough, and they’re pretty poor at reading history.
For example they sometimes simply reject any texts written by Christians. This unfairly rules out any source by anyone who was convinced by the evidence, regardless of the quality of their history. Ridiculous! Imagine if Luke (a first-rate historian) had been agnostic when he set out to write his “orderly account for Theophilus,” and then became a believer during his research. Under this standard his writings would be admissible before he believed, but suddenly inadmissible after he believed – the exact same material! It’s clearly dishonest to rule out historical material on the grounds that the writer believed what they wrote to be true!
So don’t be bluffed - be informed.
