Items related to Was the Tomb Empty?: A Lawyer Weighs the Evidence for...
This is a careful, critical attempt, by a highly qualified British judge, to examine the evidence concerning the resurrection from the dead of Jesus of Nazareth. After a review of the basic legal principles involved regarding the use of evidence (What standard of proof is acceptable? Are we dealing with history or myth? What are our preconceptions?), this succinct but powerful document considers the testimony of individuals involved (Paul, James, Peter); the various resurrection accounts, their inconsistencies, and their value as evidence; possible sites for Jesus' tomb; sources from outside the gospels, such as Josephus, Tacitus and Pliny; logical alternatives to the resurrection; and the opinions of experts in the fields of history, literary history, palaeography and law. Could this most improbable story be, at heart, true? What are the implications?

About the Author:
After a distinguished career as a solicitor, specialising in civil litigation, Graeme Smith became a full-time District Judge of High Court and County Court in 2003. In 2012 he was appointed a Crown Court Recorder. An accredited Methodist local preacher, he and his wife Helen currently attend an Assemblies of God church.
Review:
"This is a clear and thoughtful judicial study of the event that lies at the heart of the Christian faith. It should appeal to a wide readership. It both poses a fair challenge to the interested enquirer and also provides real encouragement to the believer that there is a solidly rational basis to the faith in which we live and which we seek to commend to others." --Mark Hedley, Hon. Professor of Law at Liverpool Hope University and former High Court Judge 20131101
