The case of Easter
In his best-selling book The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel traced his spiritual journey from atheism to faith by showing how the evidence he obtained from experts in the fields of history, archeology and ancient manuscripts led him to the verdict that Jesus was truly the Son. of God. Now in this four-week Easter study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Lee investigates the story of Jesus' resurrection and how we can know if it is true.
In each session, he will explore the following aspects of the Easter story:
What the Gospel accounts actually say about Jesus' death and resurrection, how we can reconcile discrepancies between the accounts, and how we can know if the biblical accounts are accurate
How can we use a technique known as the “five minimal facts” – facts that even skeptical scholars agree to be true – and medical evidence to build a strong case for Jesus' resurrection
What the evidence in the Gospels reveals about Jesus' tomb being empty, why the Gospel authors are credible in making this claim, and what this evidence leads us to conclude
According to the Bible, which witnessed the life of Jesus after the crucifixion, how the first beliefs claiming that Jesus was alive arose and how it is clear that the early Church perpetuated this teaching.
The Case for Easter invites participants to examine the evidence for themselves and ask whether the story of Jesus' resurrection makes sense. This will lead them to the inescapable conclusion that led Lee from atheism to Christianity: Jesus was the Son of God who conquered the grave.
