Professor: Christ really did rise from the dead

Publication Date: 11/04/2008

Dr. Greenleaf was a Royal Professor of Law at Harvard University and said to be one of the greatest legal minds of all time. He wrote what was considered the greatest legal volume ever written, "A Treatise on the Law of Evidence." Dr. Simon Greenleaf believed the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was a hoax. He determined, once and for all, to expose the Resurrection as myth. Dr. Greenleaf used the laws of evidence to thoroughly examine the evidence for the Resurrection. After he thoroughly examined the evidence for the resurrection � Dr. Greenleaf came to the opposite conclusion. He wrote a book entitled "An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists by the Rules of Evidence Administered in the Courts of Justice," in which he emphatically stated:

"It was impossible that the apostles could have persisted in affirming the truths they had narrated, had not Jesus Christ actually risen from the dead" (Simon Greenleaf, An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists by the Rules of Evidence Administered in the Courts of Justice, p. 29).

Dr. Simon Greenleaf further concluded that according to the jurisdiction of legal evidence, the resurrection of Jesus Christ was the best supported event in all of history. And not only that, Dr. Greenleaf was so convinced by the overwhelming evidence, he committed his life and began to serve Jesus Christ!

Trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today � the true and only way to heaven.
