Jesus Christ’s resurrection rocked Jerusalem and disrupted the course of religious history. The miracle of the resurrection challenged entrenched dogmas of Judaism. The coming forth of the Book of Mormon launched a new religious movement across the American frontier and equally confronted church tradition. Both the establishment of Christianity and its restoration solely depend upon the truth claims of their founding miracles. This begs the question, does any evidence actually exist for the resurrection of Jesus Christ? What about the golden plates from which the Book of Mormon is supposedly translated?<\/p>\n
Ordained evangelist and author\u2014Joshua Gehly\u2014guides readers through the trenches of historiography to examine the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as presented by leading apologetic researchers like William Lane Craig, Michael Licona and Gary Habermas. Using a strict historical method of inference to the best explanation, the case is made for the miraculous claims of Jesus Christ resurrected.<\/p>\n
The exact same method is applied to evaluate and compare the circumstances regarding the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. Nothing is concealed from investigation, including treasure seeking by Joseph Smith, financial failures and excommunication of founding church leadership. From the criteria of a hypothesis established by one miracle (the resurrection), the claims of a second (the Book of Mormon) get tested to the same standard.<\/p>\n
Can a miracle be the best explanation for the empty tomb? Can the Book of Mormon hold up against historical scrutiny? Does heavenly intervention account for two of the largest religious movements of the last two thousand years? Finally, after these questions get answered, the gospel message is compared between the New Testament and Book of Mormon texts to see if the risen Jesus truly delivered the same gospel to different people after His resurrection. Witnessing Miracles: Historical Evidence for the Resurrection and Book of Mormon bridges a gap few have tried to cross to come up with the best explanation of the facts…which might surprise you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
