This work investigates the historical and theological validity of the resurrection of Jesus, questioning how the event is interpreted within the context of Christian faith. The author, D. H. Van Daalen, approaches the subject through a rigorous examination of biblical narratives and theological frameworks. By analyzing the nature of the resurrection as both a historical occurrence and a spiritual reality, the text seeks to reconcile the disparate accounts found in the Gospels with the broader implications for Christian doctrine. The book utilizes scholarly analysis and bibliographical research to construct a cohesive argument regarding the significance of the resurrection in modern religious thought.

The subject matter points to a dense, academic text intended for students of theology and religious history. The framing suggests a scholarly approach that prioritizes historical-critical methodology over devotional literature.
