RESURRECTION ON TRIAL

The Record

THE WITNESSES

The testimony of the eyewitnesses, their credibility, and the transformation of those who claimed to have encountered the risen Jesus.

THE HISTORICAL RECORD

The empty tomb, the early proclamation, the appearances, the conversion of skeptics and persecutors, the explosive rise of the early Church, the evidentiary weight of the Gospels, the chain of custody of the teachings, and more ...

THE EVIDENCE

Each fact is considered as part of a cumulative case, asking what explanation best accounts for the record as a whole. Each opposition is carefully framed and countered.

WHY THIS APPROACH IS DIFFERENT

A LITIGATOR’S METHOD

Peter Martino brings the discipline of a working litigator to the case—years spent weighing evidence, cross-examining witnesses, and arguing cases.

RIGOROUS, BUT ACCESSIBLE

The result is rigorous enough for serious study yet accessible to any intellectually curious reader, believer or skeptic, willing to follow the evidence where it leads.

A FULLY DOCUMENTED CASE

Across 33 chapters and nearly 400 footnotes, the book builds its case in detail, with appendices extending the inquiry to modern questions—including the Resurrection in the age of artificial intelligence.
