by Jeremiah J. Johnston (Author), Gary Habermas (Foreword by)
He is risen indeed! Here are the best reasons why it's true!
Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And many Christians never get beyond a Sunday school understanding of their own faith. As a result, Christianity's most important historical fact--the resurrection--is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral services, creating a powerless Christianity.
In Body of Proof, acclaimed apologist and scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston sets out to show why Jesus' victory over death is central to a believer's faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book
● examines the latest archaeological and textual findings
● presents seven tangible, fresh reasons to believe Jesus really rose from the dead
● explains why it matters today as the foundation of our hope in the face of suffering and grief
When you fully understand the implications of the resurrection, you will begin to understand the power of Christ in you. This changes everything.
"A creative masterpiece of persuasive evidence for the pivotal event of human history."--LEE STROBEL, New York Times bestselling author
