Description

In this concise, courtroom‑style investigation the author treats the resurrection of Christ as a matter of evidence, not theology. Drawing on ancient testimonies, early church writings, and the legal principles that guide jurists, he assembles a catalog of sources—gospels, Acts, and the memoirs cited by Justin Martyr—to show how the facts line up like witnesses in a trial. The narrative walks the listener through the standards of proof, credibility, and presumption, asking the same careful questions a lawyer would ask of any case.

Designed for readers with limited time, the work balances scholarly rigor with clear, straightforward language, making complex arguments feel accessible. While it remains rooted in 19th‑century scholarship, the method invites modern listeners to consider how historical data can be weighed and weighed again. By the end of the first act, listeners will have a solid grasp of the foundational evidence that underpins the central claim, setting the stage for deeper exploration.
