The Resurrection Of God Incarnate by Richard Swinburne
A rigorous philosophical and historical analysis argues that, given the prior likelihood of a perfectly good God’s existence, it would be reasonable for God to become incarnate and authenticate that mission through a public miracle. Using Bayesian reasoning, it evaluates testimony, the empty tomb, and the rise of the early Christian movement as cumulative evidence for Jesus’ resurrection, while contending that rival naturalistic explanations are less plausible. The book engages criteria of simplicity, explanatory power, and reliability of testimony to weigh alternatives. It concludes that the resurrection is more probable than not on the total evidence.
