New Insights into the Resurrection of Jesus

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the linchpin of the Christian faith. As the apostle Paul wrote, “If Christ has not been raised from the dead, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (I Cor. 15:14).

Yet the resurrection has been one of the most controversial of all Christian doctrines, and debates over the historical accuracy of the New Testament accounts of the resurrection continue to the present.

Dr. Mike Licona is the author of “The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach” – the most comprehensive study of the resurrection ever written.

Mike Licona earned his Ph.D. in New Testament Studies from the University of Pretoria and is one of the foremost Christian apologists and debaters on the scene today. Find out more about his ministry and numerous books at RisenJesus.com.

“Believers didn’t choose to live in an America that has become post-Christian, but to paraphrase Tolkien’s Gandalf, that was not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. If we are going to work successfully to redeem the time, we first have to understand it. That’s why the Areopagus is so vital to the life of the local church in the Atlanta area. It calls Christians out of our complacency, and teaches us how to think well about the relationship among faith, history, culture, and the permanent things. If Christ’s people are going to endure, even thrive, in the coming darkness, we will need to gather around lighthouses like the Areopagus, to be enlightened by truth and warmed by fellowship.”
