  1. 1. The Resurrection Of Jesus

    Apologetics, Polemics, History
    Cover of 'The Resurrection Of Jesus' by Dale C. Allison Jr.

    A careful historical and philosophical investigation of the earliest Christian resurrection claims, this work scrutinizes New Testament texts, early traditions, and comparative phenomena to evaluate the empty tomb, reported appearances, and alternative hypotheses. Engaging both apologetic defenses and skeptical critiques, it brings in historiography, probability, and cognitive psychology to show the limits of what history can prove while arguing that the first witnesses likely experienced striking events they took as encounters with the risen Jesus. The result urges epistemic modesty yet leaves room for a measured, reasonable faith.
