The Historicity of the Biblical Narratives of Easter Week (IBRI Research Reports Book 1) (English Edition)

This is the positive presentation of a debate on the resurrection, which took place at Cornell University in the spring of 1980. We respond to standard arguments against the miraculous. We compare the New Testament documents with other ancient histories. The details of Easter week are sketched, noting the overlap and uniqueness of the four Gospel accounts. There is significant corroboration with the testimony of the apostle Paul and with that of several pagan and Jewish authors, in contrast to the claims of modern secular writers who wish to explain away the resurrection.
