Book Summary
This seminal apologetics work establishes the historical reality of Jesus Christ's bodily resurrection using the innovative 'minimal facts' approach. By focusing exclusively on data strongly evidenced and acknowledged by the vast majority of critical scholars, the authors systematically dismantle alternative naturalistic theories and demonstrate that the resurrection is the best historical explanation.
