“The Resurrection of Christ: Flight of Fancy or Remarkable Reality?” – by David G. Wareham, Ph.D
There can be little question that the resurrection of Christ is the central miracle of the New Testament. Indeed, it is the hinge, upon which all of Christianity pivots; for if it is not true, then there is no compelling reason to pay any more attention to the things that Jesus might have said or done, as opposed to any other founder of a religion. So, did the resurrection really happen? What is the evidence? Is it legend, delusion or history?
This presentation enables the honest questioner to fairly evaluate the evidence and decide for themselves, whether there is any truth to the remarkable claim that one man actually conquered the grave.
