The credibility of the Bible and the Christian faith depends on the answer to a simple and precise question: Did Jesus Christ come back to life after dying and being buried? Everything revolves around this answer, whether it is the integrity of Jesus, the reality of his assertions, or the relevance of his person and his work for man today.
The implications of this topic are enormous. If Jesus today is just a handful of dust and bones buried somewhere in the ground on the outskirts of Jerusalem, then the entire Christian faith collapses like a house of cards and the hope of its message perishes with him.
All the martyrs of past centuries and of the present time were mistaken, as were the Reformers of the sixteenth century; every church building is a monument erected on the basis of an enormous deception; all the religious services and Easter festivities are just one big global joke devoid of the slightest meaning.
Moreover, the millions of human beings who today affirm that Jesus is a living Savior who transforms their lives are wallowing in a deceptive illusion.
In this clear and dynamic pamphlet, John Blanchard examines the evidence for the resurrection. He looks at alternative explanations, dismantles conspiracy theories and finally shows why there is only one credible and convincing answer to the question: Was Jesus really resurrected?
