DALLAS, TEXAS — February 9, 2017
Josh McDowell Ministry is pleased to announce the release of The Resurrection and You as a 64-page booklet. Written by international speakers and authors Josh and Sean McDowell, the book confirms the authenticity of the biblical account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
How does one go about finding a true answer to the question of whether Jesus did or did not rise from the dead? A critical historian would check out the validity of the records of witnesses, confirm Jesus’ death by crucifixion, go over the burial procedures, and confirm the reports of the empty tomb and Jesus being seen alive on the third day. Only then could he or she consider possible alternative explanations for this world-changing event.
Josh and Sean McDowell challenge readers to consider fascinating and compelling facts that underscore the power and reliability of Scripture. For more information and to read an excerpt of this booklet, visit: https://josh.org/the-resurrection-and-you/.
“My goal, back in college, was to disprove Christianity,” shared Josh. “But my research led me to the conclusion that I could trust the Bible, that Jesus is God, and that he was raised from the dead on the third day. Whatever one believes about Christ and his resurrection, everyone has to admit that something significant happened on that morning. Something so dramatic that it completely changed eleven men’s lives, enabling them to endure abuse, suffering, and in many cases death.”
The Resurrection and You answers tough questions such as:
- Do apparent discrepancies in the Gospels undermine their historic reliability? Or do the discrepancies actually offer positive evidence for the resurrection?
- Is it possible, as some critics assert, that Jesus wasn’t really dead when his body was released for burial?
- Is it possible the burial was a sham?
- Who, exactly, is recorded as having seen Jesus after his crucifixion?
- How should modern Christians respond to his selfless act?
“No one has changed the world more than Jesus Christ,” added Sean. “And he is still in the business of changing lives today. Our hope is that this book will help people to realize that not only is the word of God true, but that they can trust the Bible because the evidence is so incredible.”
