Synopsis

Belief in the resurrection of Jesus is central to the Christian faith. But how sure can we be that this belief is well-founded?

In Easter Faith one of the most distinguished Catholic biblical scholars and theologians of our time draws on a lifetime's study and research to review the evidence for the credibility of the resurrection. The result is a lucid and elegant work that brings together biblical scholarship, theology, and lived experience into a unique and compelling portrait of the Easter faith of the Christian community.
