"The Bible gives instances of two men being translated to heaven
without dying at all; of some dead people, who were raised to life,
only to die again; but we never read of a resurrected man ascending
to heaven, save in the one exception of our Lord. He died, and was
raised the third day, and having abundantly proved His resurrection
to His doubting disciples, He ascended to glory, and set Himself
down at the right hand of God. Such a claim is stupendous. Prove
it, and you prove Christianity. Disprove it, and you disprove
Christianity...The truth of Christianity hinges on the fact of the
resurrection of our Lord. Apart from the resurrection of Christ,
there can be no salvation, no forgiveness of sins, no
justification, and no gift of eternal life - in short, no
Christianity. Remove the central stone of an arch, and the whole
structure falls to the ground. So it is with the Deity and Manhood
of our Lord Jesus Christ, His spotless life, His atoning death, His
resurrection, and His ascension. These are all linked up together,
making one complete whole. If one part fails, the whole of
Christianity fails." So wrote Algernon Pollock, that indefatigable
apologist from the pulpit and in print wherever he saw the
Christian faith under attack. Beginning with an overview of the
Bible's detailing of the facts and consequences of Christ's
resurrection, the author briefly considers Old Testament prophecies
of the resurrection, before reviewing Christ's own prophecies of
His death. He continues with an examination of the person, life and
death of the Lord Jesus Christ, and their connection with His
resurrection. He then considers the circumstances of the Lord's
resurrection, before an extensive discussion of all the recorded
appearances of the risen Christ. An examination of objections to
the inspiration of the Gospel accounts is followed by a look at
some theories presented in denial of the resurrection. Significant
reference is made to an interesting mid-18th century study entitled
"Observations on the Conversion and Apostleship of St. Paul; In a
Letter to Gilbert West, Esq." by Sir George Lyttleton, later Lord
Lyttleton, Baron of Frankley. Lyttleton and West set out to
disprove Christianity by proving two key points of Christianity
false: Lyttelton that St.Paul did not convert to Christianity, and
West that Jesus never rose from the dead. However, as their
researches progressed, they both became convinced of the truth of
the events they sought to disprove. The author, himself convinced
of the fact of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, plainly
sets out his reasons in this book.
