Risen Indeed: Evidence for the Resurrection

by D. James Kennedy

Dr. Kennedy presents compelling evidence in Risen Indeed for the central Christian claim that Jesus Christ rose from the dead 2,000 years ago. He examines seven theories introduced by skeptics to disprove the Resurrection and demonstrates why each fails to fit the facts. Was Jesus Resurrected? Many ask this question and Dr. Kennedy examines alleged discrepancies between Resurrection accounts in the four gospels and shows how they are in harmony, not contradiction.

Finally, Dr. Kennedy considers whether the Shroud of Turin constitutes scientific evidence for the Resurrection and explains why he believes the Shroud is the genuine burial cloth of Jesus Christ.

Very well written!

[Jesse · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought it was a great book to read before Resurrection Sunday. Very insightful on the different types of evidences. Last chapter he talked about the Shroud of Turin, I don't know much about that so I'm a little skeptical. I have to do some research myself, so that's why the 4 out of 5 rating.
