On the Resurrection, Volume 1: Evidences Book

In the first volume of his major work, "On the Resurrection: Evidences," Gary Habermas dedicates decades of research to the historical possibility of Jesus's resurrection.

Habermas proposes a "minimal facts argument" to establish the reliability of the biblical and historical accounts surrounding the resurrection.

This argument aims to convince readers that even if we don't accept every detail, the core elements of the story - Jesus's death, the empty tomb, and appearances to disciples - are likely true based on historical analysis.

By examining these "minimal facts," Habermas contends that the resurrection is the best explanation for the early Christian movement's origins and beliefs.

This first volume lays the groundwork for Habermas's further exploration of the resurrection's significance in subsequent volumes.

In his comprehensive investigation, Strobel doesn't shy away from challenging questions, including: - How reliable is the New Testament? - Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? - Is Jesus who he said he was? - Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event? - What does all of the evidence point to--and what does it mean today? Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, The Case for Christ has been adapted into a major motion picture and has now sold over 5 million copies worldwide. This edition includes scores of revisions and additions, including updated material on archaeological and manuscript discoveries, fresh recommendations for further study, and an interview with the author that tells dramatic stories about the book's impact, provides behind-the-scenes information, and responds to critiques of the book by skeptics.
