Strobel, a former journalist for the Chicago Tribune, affirms that Christ really did die on the cross, and not just faint from exhaustion; that he experienced a bodily, and not just a spiritual, resurrection; and that he was seen alive after his death. In journalistic style, he interviews several experts like Gary Habermas, corrects inaccuracies (the nails would have been driven through Jesus' wrists, we learn, and not his palms) and tells stories. But at its heart, this is an editorial rather than a journalistic account, as Strobel most definitely has an opinion and wants readers to share his own pilgrimage from doubt to rock-solid faith. ~ Publishers Weekly

The meat of the book is in two chapters, on the "Empty Tomb" and the "Appearances of Jesus". Craig offers ten points supporting the historical fact of the empty tomb, beginning with "The historical reliability of the account of Jesus' burial supports the empty tomb" to "The fact that Jesus' tomb was not venerated as a shrine indicates that the tomb was empty." Most of the arguments are persuasively presented, though I wish all apologists would leave the Shroud aside. But in the end, Craig adequately explains the reasons that most scholars, from diverse backgrounds, accept the empty tomb as historical fact. The section on the Appearances of Jesus begins by demonstrating their historicity and then examines their explanations. He first shows that Peter, the Twelve, the five hundred, James, the apostles, and Paul did indeed experience appearances by Jesus. Craig then moves through the potential explanations and concludes that the best explanation for these appearances is that they were indeed real events, interactions with a living and breathing restored Jesus. Craig caps off his argument with a discussion about the resurrection's role as the best explanation for the Origin of the Christian Faith itself

Geivett and Habermas have collected some of the best available scholars around today to present a case for the actions of God in human history. The book begins with David Hume's work on miracles along with a response from Antony Flew (the eminent Humean scholar). Then, a barrage of Christian philosophers and theologians tackle the issue of miracles in each chapter. Some of the chapter titles include - "Defining Miracles" (Richard Purtill), "Miracles and the Modern Mind" (Norman L. Geisler), "History and Miracles" (Francis J. Beckwith), "Recognizing a Miracle" (Winfried Corduan), "Science, Miracles, Agency, Theory & the God-of-the-Gaps" (J.P. Moreland), "The Evidential Value of Miracles" (Douglas Geivett), "Miracles in the World Religions" (David K. Clark), "The Incarnation of Jesus Christ" (John S. Feinberg), "The Empty Tomb of Jesus" (William Lane Craig), "The Resurrection Appearances of Jesus" (Gary R. Habermas), and more.

English journalist Frank Morison had a tremendous drive to learn of Christ. The strangeness of the Resurrection story had captured his attention, and, influenced by skeptical thinkers at the turn of the century, he set out to prove that the story of Christ's Resurrection was only a myth. His probings, however, led him to discover the validity of the biblical record in a moving, personal way. Who Moved the Stone? is considered by many to be a classic apologetic on the subject of the Resurrection. Morison includes a vivid and poignant account of Christ's betrayal, trial, and death as a backdrop to his retelling of the climactic Resurrection itself. Among the chapter titles are: "The Book That Refused to Be Written", "The Real Case Against the Prisoner", "What Happened Before Midnight on Thursday", "Between Sunset and Dawn", "The Witness of the Great Stone", "Some Realities of That Far-off Morning".
