My Redeemer Lives Evan Minton

Did Jesus rise from the dead? How can we know? Most people think it takes blind faith to accept the resurrection of Jesus. Few people know that you can actually come to that conclusion through standard historical methodology. In this book, which is an adaption and expansion of what originally was a Ten-Part blog post series, Mr. Evan Minton shows that there is strong historical evidence for Jesus' death on a cross, the empty tomb, and various post mortem appearances by using the "criteria of authenticity" that historians use when examining various other works of antiquity. He uses that same methodology to show that Jesus believed He was God incarnate, had a ministry of what appeared to His followers to be miracles, and that His miraculous resurrection is a confirmation of His claims to be God. To put it in the form of a quasi-mathematical equation "Jesus' Claims + Jesus' Resurrection = Confirmation Of Jesus' Claims." Therefore, the one who raised Jesus from the dead (God The Father) put his stamp of approval on Jesus' teachings. We can therefore, infer the inspiration of the Old Testament (because Jesus taught the OT was inspired), the inspiration of The New Testament (because Jesus a.k.a God incarnate handpicked the writers), the existence of angels and demons, and more. If you're a Christian, you should get this book so that you'll be a more effective witness for Christ, always being ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15). If you're not a Christian, you should read this book and know that Christianity rests on a solid, factual foundation.
