DID JESUS REALLY RISE FROM THE DEAD?
A Critical Examination of the Facts About the Resurrection of
Jesus on DVD
If Christ has not been raised, said the Apostle
Paul, Christian faith
is in vain. The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is not an incidental
or minor aspect of Christianity. If Jesus did not rise from the dead,
Christianity is certainly false.
Skeptics have long tried to show that there was no Resurrection.
Today,
there has been a resurgence of attacks on this central truth of
Christianity. Some people claim that the followers of Jesus fabricated
the Resurrection. Others argue that the disciples hallucinated or had a
“vision” of their dead master, which they confused with a truly risen
Jesus. Others still suggest that the Resurrection was a myth or that
the apostles may have seen a “spirit” or witnessed a “spiritual
resurrection” that had nothing to do with an empty tomb and the
transformation of Jesus’ dead body. Did Jesus Really Rise from the
Dead? carefully scrutinizes the
historical evidence. Rather than accept Christian belief blindly, top
scholars and biblical historians critically examine alternative
explanations. In the end, they show why it is a matter of sound reason
as well as faith to affirm what the early Church proclaimed: Jesus is
risen.
A fascinating, fast-paced, exciting exploration of Jesus’ fate, Did
Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? shows how Jesus’ Resurrection has
consequences for every one of us.
