The Apostle Paul famously wrote that if Jesus did not rise from the dead, then the Christian faith is in vain. In this volume, Dr. Jeffrey Morrow examines the historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection. Dr. Morrow's thorough investigation examines the arguments and weighs the evidence, demonstrating that the Christian confession of Jesus' resurrection best explains the known historical facts. The main narrative is accessible to a wide lay audience. The book includes detailed endnotes and bibliography for the interested scholar.

Highly recommended.”—SCOTT HAHN, Father Michael Scanlan, TOR, Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at Franciscan University of Steubenville

“As a convert to Christianity from Judaism, Jeffrey Morrow brings a unique perspective to the quest for Jesus. Even more, he leaves no stone unturned in the debate over what happened to Jesus' body on the first Easter morning. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, if you're looking for a clear, concise, and compelling case for the Resurrection, then this is the book for you."—BRANT PITRE, Professor of Sacred Scripture at Notre Dame Seminary, and author of The Case for Jesus: the Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ
