His colleague at the Tribune told him that the resurrection is Christianity’s central doctrine. If he can prove that the resurrection is a myth, “the whole house of cards falls.” What happened to him in his investigation is the work of God himself. Here…

It is one thing to reject the resurrection fact; it is quite another to try to explain away the biblical record.
