The Evidence for the Resurrection

People Who Became Christians After Studying the Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus

Frank Morison

A British lawyer and journalist who set out to disprove the resurrection of Jesus. The result of his studies resulted in him being converted to Christianity. He wrote the book "Who Moved the Stone?" which explores the evidence for the resurrection. The first chapter is titled "The Book That Refused to Be Written."

Josh McDowell

He had been an ardent outspoken sceptic when a university student. He determined to discredit Christianity using historical and legal analysis. The result of his studies surprised him, he became a Christian and wrote "Evidence That Demands a Verdict," a widely used apologetics resource.

Lee Strobel

He was the Legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, formerly an atheist who investigated Christianity after his wife became a Christian.

He became convinced, converted to Christianity and authored "The Case for Christ," later made into a film.

J. Warner Wallace

He was a cold-case homicide detective and committed atheist who used forensic methods to test the reliability of the Gospel accounts.

He also became a Christian and wrote "Cold-Case Christianity."

Sir Lionel Luckhoo

Famed defence attorney, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for most consecutive acquittals. After being challenged by his students he

analysed the evidence for the resurrection from a legal perspective. The evidence convinced him and he became a Christian declaring that the evidence for the resurrection was "absolutely overwhelming."

C. S. Lewis

He had been an atheist who became an Oxford professor of literature. After being encouraged by close friends and Christian thinkershe studied the claims of Christ. He eventually submitted to the claims to Jesus, became a Christian and wrote extensively. His books include "Mere Christianity," defending the truth of the resurrection and the Christian faith.

These individuals all approached the resurrection with scepticism but became convinced by the historical and logical evidence, ultimately becoming followers of Jesus.
