Many experts have tried to support and debunk the reality of Jesus' resurrection. The most popular work in recent memory of support for the resurrection is the famous Lee Strobel book THE CASE FOR CHRIST. Charles Foster's work is a little different in that it's not a purely pro-resurrection stance on the issue. Rather, Foster tries to represent both sides of the argument as fairly and objectively as possible using the skeptic X and the believer Y on their analysis concerning topics such as the death, the burial, the empty tomb, the early church's view on resurrection, etc.

The book does a great job in exploring the subject matters from both sides, X and Y. They both go into good depth regarding the reasonability, history, and factual evidence of the key issues at hand. It may be pretty risky on the author's part to allow X to raise many interesting points (and in essence leave the audience to decide which panelist is right), but the author sets out with much confidence that the resurrection can indeed be proven. And this is a Christian book by the way (a Thomas Nelson publishing). Readers may possibly come to saving faith as a result of this book, and many more will discover more objections so they can know how to answer skeptics in their evangelistic endeavors.

I highly recommend this book. It's indeed, insightful, and important. In some ways, it is better than Lee Strobel's book because of its greater degree of objectivity for both sides and its more in-depth controversies.
