Read / Download The Case for Easter: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Resurrection

Lee Strobel, an accomplished legal journalist, embarked on a journey to investigate this profound enigma, which ultimately led him from atheism to faith. Utilizing his investigative skills showcased in his acclaimed work; The Case for Christ, Strobel delves into the compelling evidence surrounding the resurrection in his book The Case for Easter.

In the realm of world religions, Christianity stands unique in its assertion that its founder, Jesus Christ, returned from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus serves as the foundational belief of Christianity. However, in an era dominated by scientific inquiry and skepticism towards mythical narratives, the idea of a deceased individual coming back to life challenges the rational mind. In the face of such skepticism, how credible is the evidence supporting the resurrection?

Strobel’s inquiry scrutinizes three key aspects:

1. The Medical Evidence: Was Jesus’ death on the cross genuine, or was it a sham orchestrated to fabricate his resurrection? Strobel examines medical evidence to assess the authenticity of Jesus’ crucifixion and the subsequent events leading to his resurrection.
2. The Evidence of the Missing Body: One of the central tenets of the resurrection narrative is the discovery of Jesus’ empty tomb. However, conflicting accounts and theories raise doubts about the legitimacy of this crucial piece of evidence. Strobel investigates the credibility of claims surrounding the absence of Jesus’ body from the tomb.
3. The Evidence of Appearances: Numerous accounts in historical records claim that individuals encountered Jesus alive following his crucifixion. Strobel delves into these eyewitness testimonies to evaluate the plausibility of Jesus being seen after his purported resurrection.

The Case for Easter presents these inquiries in a hard-hitting journalistic style, aiming to unravel the core issues surrounding the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Is the resurrection a mere superstitious myth, or does it hold the potential to be a life-changing reality?

Ultimately, Strobel invites readers to weigh the evidence and draw their own conclusions. The verdict on the authenticity of Jesus’ resurrection remains open, awaiting the scrutiny and judgment of each individual.

In a world where skepticism often dominates discussions on matters of faith and spirituality, The Case for Easter provides a thought-provoking exploration into one of Christianity’s most profound beliefs. Through meticulous investigation and rigorous analysis, Strobel presents readers with the opportunity to engage critically with the evidence surrounding the resurrection of Jesus Christ, leaving the final verdict in their hands.
