The first thing you'll notice is the opening, pre-show comment sounds so much
better than the audio Keith is stuck with in the show. Unbelievable, but it's
the exact same microphone. Thanks Skype. Audio troubles aside, which make a
tiny glitch or two as the show progresses, we are glad to have a special guest.
We skip all the usual segments to interview Chase A Thompson about his recently
published book. Easter: Fact or Fiction.
The book is more than the logical arguments behind the historic and
philosophical reasons to have every confidence the resurrection account is
true, Chase also offers his own story of having doubts, and what it took for
him to begin his journey to understand why the New Testament accounts are
trustworthy. His personal testimony and background are told in the same honest
look as what he gives to common challenges to the risen Jesus.
We talk a little about The Gospel Friends <http://thegospelfriends.com/>
podcast, which Chase has been a co-host, we talk about what you'll find in the
book, including: The empty tomb, Hysterical women, and The Crucifixion stigma.
The opening chapters contain probably the single most compelling reasons to
trust that a dead person really came to life, and the account is a historical
one.
Do you still need more? There are 20 chapters to cover several logical
arguments, the reliability of some unlikely eye witnesses, conspiracy theories,
and why they don't make sense. In the interview, we pick apart some of the
challenges that the whole thing is a myth, and the handwritten books of the New
Testament are somehow in error. The embarrassment factor, and sometimes mundane
accounts don't seem the kind of things someone would make up, if the idea was
to create a hoax, or conspiracy, or make Jesus out as a legendary hero.

understand, and for the price of $0.99, you can't go wrong. It's a good read

about events that have shaped our history.
