The Empty Tomb - History or Myth?

The gospel story reaches a climax with the realization that the tomb is empty - Jesus has risen! This is everything to Christians, and the reality of this event was the foundation of the church. But is it an article of faith, or an event of history… how does it stand up to scrutiny?

There are a ton of great books on this, here are a few to get you started if you enjoyed this topic:

• F.F. Bruce - The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable?
• Lee Strobel - The Case for Christ
• Richard Bauckham - Jesus and the Eyewitnesses
• N.T. Wright - Jesus and the Victory of God
