The Case for Easter

<p><strong>Did Jesus of Nazareth really rise from the dead?</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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. He examines:</p><ul><li>The Medical Evidence: Was Jesus's death a sham and his resurrection a hoax?</li><li>The Evidence of the Missing Body: Was Jesus's body really absent from his tomb?</li><li>The Evidence of Appearances: Was Jesus seen alive after his death on the cross?</li></ul><p> </p><p>Written in a hard-hitting, journalistic style, <em>The Case for Easter</em> 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.</p>
