Published in four volumes, On the Resurrection serves as Gary R. Habermas's magnum opus - a comprehensive defense of the authenticity of Jesus Christ's resurrection, built from Habermas's lifetime of scholarly study.
In the first volume, Evidences, Habermas presents a comprehensive offering of all the historical evidence for the resurrection, including extra-biblical sources and a full exploration of the minimal historical facts argument. This volume includes:
- A detailed overview of the nature of historical research and how historical truth is evaluated.
- Evidence for the existence of Jesus.
- A complete evaluation of the minimal historical facts surrounding Jesus's resurrection, plus six other known historical facts.
- The biblical data for the resurrection account.
Through his comprehensive analyses built from a lifetime of research, Habermas demonstrates why we ought to trust the biblical and historical testimony of Scripture regarding the resurrection. This book is a must-read for pastors, students, and scholars interested in the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
