Witnessing Miracles: Historical Evidence for the Resurrection and Book of Mormon Kindle Edition

4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars 47 ratings

Jesus Christ's resurrection rocked Jerusalem and disrupted the course of religious history. The miracle of the resurrection challenged entrenched dogmas of Judaism. The coming forth of the Book of Mormon launched a new religious movement across the American frontier and equally confronted church tradition. Both the establishment of Christianity and its restoration solely depend upon the truth claims of their founding miracles. This begs the question, does any evidence actually exist for the resurrection of Jesus Christ? What about the golden plates from which the Book of Mormon is supposedly translated?

Ordained evangelist and author
Joshua Gehlyguides readers through the trenches of historiography to examine the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as presented by leading apologetic researchers like William Lane Craig, Michael Licona and Gary Habermas. Using a strict historical method of inference to the best explanation, the case is made for the miraculous claims of Jesus Christ resurrected.

The exact same method is applied to evaluate and compare the circumstances regarding the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. Nothing is concealed from investigation, including treasure seeking by Joseph Smith, financial failures and excommunication of founding church leadership. From the criteria of a hypothesis established by one miracle (the resurrection), the claims of a second (the Book of Mormon) get tested to the same standard.

Can a miracle be the best explanation for the empty tomb? Can the Book of Mormon hold up against historical scrutiny? Does heavenly intervention account for two of the largest religious movements of the last two thousand years? Finally, after these questions get answered, the gospel message is compared between the New Testament and Book of Mormon texts to see if the risen Jesus truly delivered the same gospel to different people after His resurrection.
Witnessing Miracles: Historical Evidence for the Resurrection and Book of Mormon bridges a gap few have tried to cross to come up with the best explanation of the facts...which might surprise you.

    The arguments presented for both Jesus's resurrection and the authenticity of the Book of Mormon present the improbabilities of either claims being false. The only thing left to do is surrender to inevitable conclusions and respond according to conscience.

    I actually came to this site to buy another copy of this fantastic book written by Joshua Gehly and was shocked that I had not written a review previously. I have had an opportunity to hear him speak on this subject prior to the book being written so I was somewhat familiar with the content. However, I was surprised at how well it his ideas are laid out. It truly is a book that any lover of the Holy Bible and The Book of Mormon should read and have in their collection. His research and method of laying out the comparison between the Resurrection and the coming forth of the record of The Book of Mormon is ingenious. I have found it a great read and hope others will also.

    So much of what we read is subjective with little if any backup in terms of source material. It is refreshing to find a discussion where one can reference the basis for the statements made.
