I have to agree with Jackson Lim . Lee Strobel’s first book, The Case For Christ, not only covers the evidence for the Resurrection….it covers his personal journey from angry, skeptical atheist to reluctant believer(intellectually) to born-again believer in Christ. He covers many other aspects of Biblical truth as well & with his Pulitzer prize winning expertise.

Josh McDowell’s book The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict is packed with apologetics material.

Only a fool with his reason darkened by the sin would think of doubting the Bible. Why should we respond to fools according to the standards of depraved wisdom?
-
Though some of his beliefs are a little off, C.S. Lewis does a masterful job of using analogy to make practical arguments. Mere Christianity is a good one, as is Weight of Glory.

Anything by Dr. Habermas. I studied under him at Liberty, worlds leading expert on the resurrection.
-
Unfortunately we only have eye-witness accounts at present for the resurrection. There is no other evidence concerning it. Thus we must accept it through faith – based upon the weakest type of evidence.
But we will come to know – that it is true.

The bible!If we have faith in the word we need no further evidence

KJV alone!!

The Book of Mormon is another testimony that Jesus Christ lives. It’s a companion to the Bible. It declares that all men may be resurrected by Jesus Christ.

Do we even need evidence?

The best book of evidence is actually all 66 books in the Bible. Starting in genesis, all the way to Malichi, it gives us examples of the resurrection. From Matthew to John, it gives you the resurrection, and from acts to revolutions, it provides you proof of the resurrection and promise of Christ and the final task of Christ’s returns.

The bible .
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”
1 Corinthians 15:1-6 KJV1. Christ died for our sins
2. He was buried
3. He rose from the dead
4. Empty tomb
5. 500 witnesses saw Jesus aliveThis is how we are saved
Jesus alone“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”
Romans 10:9-11 KJVIT IS WRITTEN
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
2 Timothy 3:16 KJVThe Bible is the only trustworthy source because it is Gods word
False prophets are here , they wrote books and it is not the same Jesus of the bible . Pray for discernment and wisdom
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
Matthew 24:24 KJV -
Any of the Gospels.

+1 for Gary Habermas.

Also remember, our testimonies carry a lot of power. It doesn’t always have to be about science. Just share what you’ve experienced and why it causes you to believe.

Scholarly Level:
1. NT Wright’s book The Resurrection of the Son of God ( long, but very thorough)
2. Assessing the New Testament Evidence for the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus by William Lane Craig
3. I’ll throw in my own book Undead: A Historical Investigation into the Most Famous Miracle in History (available on Amazon)
For more popular level:
1. The Case for the Resurrection by Gary Habermas and Mike Licona2. The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
3. Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell
4. Cold Case Christianity by Jay Warner Wallace.
-
Lots of great books on the topic, but Tim Chaffey’s In Defense of Easter is fantastic.
-
The Case for Christ, Cold Case Christianity, and I personally love No God but One by Qureshi.
-
The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus by Gary Habermas and The Son Rises by William Lane Craig are really good starts
-
GARY HABERMAS is the number one apologist in our century giving evidence to Christ’s resurrection.
-
The entire New Testament! Isaiah in the Old Testament! historical accounts of Jesus by nonChristians all trying to explain away the resurrection but never denying the tomb is empty and many claimed to see him alive! Evidence That Demands a Verdict by Josh MacDowell, The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, and Mere Christianity by CS Lewis.
