Defends accuracy of the gospels
The Resurrection Report By William Proctor Broadman and Holman Publishers 1998 212 pages
If the life of Jesus Christ is the greatest story ever told, then the account of His resurrection is certainly the greatest news documentary ever written. In this book, Proctor applies his experience and training as a journalist to examine the momentous events surrounding Christs return from the dead.
Using the basic questions of journalism, who, what, when, where, how and why, Proctor leads readers on a thorough investigation of the resurrection. Confirming journalistic standards at each step, he makes an excellent argument for the veracity of the biblical accounts and shows that some imagined discrepancies are actually arguments in favor of scriptural inerrancy. From a reporters perspective, he looks at the details and personalities involved in this event that is so fundamental to the Christian faith.
This captivating rewrite of the resurrection news story combines all of the gospel and eyewitness accounts into a seamless documentary that covers the resurrection story from the hasty burial through Christs ascension. This book is a clever blend of apologetics and an in-depth look at the most sensational news event in human history. In answering the why question, it presents a clear explanation of Gods plan of salvation. This is a great book to share with seekers who require a logical, reasoned approach to issues of faith.
