This book investigates the resurrection appearances of Jesus, with a view to establishing their authenticity as experienced by the first-hand witnesses. Special attention is given to the nature of the resurrection body of Jesus before and after the ascension. The evidence is gleaned from both the New Testament and secular literature. Attention is drawn to the detail of the biblical evidence for the physical resurrection of Jesus and the arguments of those who deny that Jesus rose bodily from the dead. Consideration is given to the testimony of the church through the centuries and the importance of this for belief in the resurrection today.
