The evidence for the Resurrection is reviewed, seeking to get into and behind the texts of the four gospels, and the minds of those who were there or who wrote about it, with what is believed to be a fresh approach to the events of that third day and...

"Adjectives that come to mind when I read this work were: pure, authentic, inspiring. This author does not succumb to needless wordiness and does not use filler words, as do many authors who are only interested in being a 'published author,' but who really have nothing original to say. Robert Winkler Burke does." - Sharon Tomme, Albuquerque, NM

When we read the stories about Jesus in the Bible, we hear about what Jesus did to help the people he met. He befriended them, he taught them, he healed them and he saved them from embarrassment. They are wonderful stories but what about the people themselves? Where were they coming from? What did they do with the rest of their lives? For example, what happened to the woman caught in adultery who, in the biblical account, we leave sitting alone with...

These old stories feature and were written by people with whom we share a common humanity and whose encounters with God have much to teach us. In their stories we see something of our own stories and, if we listen aright, we can hear the divine...
