Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus--And Why It Matters Today

Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. Compounding this is the failure of most churches to grow their followers' faith beyond a Sunday school understanding. As a result, the most important historical fact of the Christian faith is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral pep talks: the resurrection. And it's creating a powerless Christianity. Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, an acclaimed apologist and scholar, sets out to prove why Christ's victory over death is central to a believer's faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book examines the latest archaeological and textual findings and presents seven tangible, fresh proofs that Jesus really rose from the dead--and why it matters today. When you fully understand the implications of the resurrection, you will begin to understand the power of Christ in you. And it changes everything.
