Review
A nice, short book that covers the main highlights of the Resurrection. Starting with the preaching of the disciples and testimony of the Gospels it also covers the burial of Jesus. It then moves to the empty tomb, the witnesses, and finally the unlikely unbelievers of those like James and Paul. Craig does off some supporting evidence, and a few citations are also helpful. The ending covers explanations for the facts presented including hallucination, swoon theory, and Resurrection.
This isn’t going to be a book where you’re going to read the back and forth of scholars but it does provide the biggest arguments from the minimal facts perspective. The item that could have been brushed up on a bit more is the early creed of 1 Corinthians 15 and how early and important it was. It is there but it gets lost in the chapter it’s presented in. A good reference book for expanded study.
