It addresses questions such as: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -Is Jesus real?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -Can we know that Jesus rose from the dead?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -Does Christianity have a sure foundation?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It examines Jesus's historicity, the significance of the empty tomb, and the unexpected, transformative impacts of the early disciples' encounters with the risen Lord. It then looks behind these testimonies to explore the role of the Holy Spirit in the resurrection and as the life-giving, active agent of God in the lives of Christians today. It concludes with an examination of the role of miracles, both then and now, in Christian witness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book's emphasis is experiential, demonstrating that Jesus Christ is not only risen from the dead but also alive today, and that Christianity has a sure foundation which can be trusted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrett Knowles formerly taught church history at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, and at the Sydney College of Divinity, Sydney, Australia.
