Did Jesus Resurrect: A Closer Look at Christianity

 The Jesus Inquest by Charles Foster

Charles Foster, a writer, barrister, and traveller, bravely accepts the responsibility to address essential questions and issues that determine the historical claim and existence of Christianity. Who wrote the gospels? Why are there many inconsistencies among the gospels? Should all the gospels be taken literally? These are some of the troubling questions Charles Foster investigates in The Jesus Inquest to measure the validity of Christianity through historical and medical evidence.

Foster captures the reader in a tug of war scenario presenting arguments for and against the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He examines the evidence to take the position of X and Y, and in turn takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride as he presents each argument from both positions. No inquiry is too delicate, risky or taboo in this thorough investigation of the resurrection of Jesus and the credibility of the sources.

If you have questions or doubts regarding the resurrection of Jesus, if the events of the gospels interest you, or if you enjoy an intense debate, then this is a must read.
