Description
Excerpt from The First Easter Dawn: An Inquiry Into the Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus
To the advanced Rationalist this book may seem super?uous. Miracles, some may say, are impossible, because they would con?ict with the universal law of causation. No evidence can prove a miracle. Why, then, trouble to examine the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus ''2 But many sound thinkers decline to assume the impossibility of the miraculous, while remaining convinced that a dead man''s return to life must always be more unlikely than the falsity of testimony to that effect. And as the haziest notions on this subject are still prevalent it has seemed desirable to group into one volume some of the principal objections to the orthodox doctrine as well as some examination of the main arguments in its favour.
