Important considerations on historical inquiry pertaining to the truth in ancient texts -- The historian and miracles -- Historical sources pertaining to the resurrection of Jesus -- The historical bedrock pertaining to the fate of Jesus -- Weighing hypotheses.

Summary: Michael Licona opens this study with an extensive consideration of historiography and the particular problem of investigating claims of miracles. Then he carefully applies his principles and methods to the question of Jesus' resurrection. In addition to determining and working from the most reliable sources and bedrock historical evidence, Licona critically weighs other prominent hypotheses. His own argument is a challenging and closely argued case for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. --from publisher description.
