Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
What do the Gospel accounts actually say about Jesus' death and resurrection? How can we know the biblical accounts are accurate? In his bestselling book The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel retraced his spiritual journey from atheism to faith by showing how the evidence he obtained from experts in the field of history, archaeology, and ancient manuscripts led him to the verdict that Jesus truly was the Son of God. In this four-week Easter study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Lee investigates the story surrounding the resurrection of Jesus—and how we can know that it is true. In each session, you'll explore: How to understand the differences between the Gospel accounts. How to use historical and medical evidence to build a strong case for Jesus' resurrection. Why the Gospel writers are credible when they make this claim. Who witnessed Jesus alive after the crucifixion and how it's clear that the early church carried on this teaching. The Case for Easter invites you and your group to examine the evidence for yourselves and point you to the conclusion that Jesus was the Son of God who conquered the grave. ___________________ Designed for use with The Case for Christmas Video Study/The Case for Easter Video Study (sold separately). This DVD is a set of two videos to accompany The Case for Christmas Study Guide and The Case for Easter Study Guide (each guide sold separately).

The Evidence of the Missing Body -- Was Jesus' body really absent from his tomb? The Evidence of Appearances -- Was Jesus seen alive after his death on the cross? Written in a hard-hitting journalistic style, The Case for Easter probes the core issues of the resurrection. Jesus Christ, risen from the dead: superstitious myth or life-changing reality? The evidence is in. The verdict is up to you. Book jacket.

Book Description
“In this book, Marcellino D’Ambrosio has painted a rich picture that brings Jesus and his world to life. Clear, concise, and compelling, Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life is a must-read for every Catholic.” – Edward Sri Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life by Marcellino D’Ambrosio is an ebook that stands alone but also accompanies the 10-week video study program presented by Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Jeff Cavins, and Edward Sri. In this book, Catholics walk step by step with Jesus from his infancy to the Ascension. Anchored in the life of Christ as presented in the Gospels, it explores the entirety of Jesus’ life—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, what he did for our salvation, and what this means for us as Catholics today. This study shows, in a simple way, how Jesus, the Incarnate God, is both fully divine and fully human—his intimacy with the Father, his revelation of the Father’s love, and his extraordinary influence on his disciples, his followers, and even his enemies. Most importantly, this encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life in him as you come to know and love him in an ever-deeper and more intimate way. In this book, Catholics will learn... Who Jesus is and how he answers the longings of the human heart. Why Jesus was baptized. The significance of the Transfiguration. The essentials of Christology explained in a way the average Catholic can understand. The mystery and meaning of the Resurrection, Christ’s triumph over death. The nature of Jesus’ mission and the redemption of humanity. Our role today as Catholics in the Great Commission. Paperback, 280 pages Nihil obstat: Rev. Robert A.
