The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been
repeatedly probed, investigated and debated. And the results have
varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the
burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be
any new and promising approach to this problem? Yes, answers
Michael Licona. And he convincingly points us to a significant
deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical
orientation and practice. So he opens this study with an extensive
consideration of historiography and the particular problem of
investigating claims of miracles. This alone is a valuable
contribution. But then Licona carefully applies his principles and
methods to the question of Jesus' resurrection. In addition to
determining and working from the most reliable sources and bedrock
historical evidence, Licona critically weighs other prominent
hypotheses. His own argument is a challenging and closely argued
case for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ.
Any future approaches to dealing with this 'prize puzzle' of New
Testament study will need to be routed through The Resurrection of
Jesus.
