The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated, and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem?

Yes, answers Michael Licona. And he convincingly points us to a significant deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical orientation and practice. So he opens this study with an extensive consideration of historiography and the particular problem of investigating claims of miracles. This alone is a valuable contribution.

But then Licona 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. Any future approaches to dealing with this "prize puzzle" of New Testament study will need to be routed through The Resurrection of Jesus.

This book is not a cursory or summary type of book but drills down into the details on the current arguments for and against the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. It’s been a lot of time laying out the proper methods and logical assumptions that can, and probably should be the basis of all historical inquiries.

Given that this might be the first audible review, I thought it would be helpful to others if I shared my experience with this book. I downloaded the book because I was interested in the resurrection of Jesus, with a overview of those who believe in the resurrection versus those who do not. I was also very interested in the section about miracles, which I am currently studying. For those who are familiar with academia, this audiobook reads very much like a dissertation, and in my opinion, the book needs to be edited for the general reader or layman because there are many terms that the general readerwill not recognize or understand if they have not taken a class on studying scripture before.The first section or chapter about understanding truth is certainly a bit overkill, and I recommend only skimming it briefly then moving onto the next section. There is a lot of great information in this book, especially if you are interested in the scholarship regarding different viewpoints of the resurrection and miracles.

Dr. Licona makes a fascinating case, arguing that with only using the very few facts that almost every scholar agrees on, the resurrection of Jesus is still the best hypothesis to explain the data.
