INTRODUCTION
Something happened over 1,970 years ago that changed the course of world history. This event turned men of fear into men of faith. This event explains the existence of the Church and changes in the lives of millions of believers. It is an event that Christians remember each Sunday as they gather together for worship. This event is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Josh McDowell was a skeptic before he examined the gospels for himself. A student asked Josh, Professor McDowell, why can t you intellectually refute Christianity? Josh McDowell responded, For a very simple reason. I am not able to explain away an event in history-the resurrection of Jesus Christ. After studying the subject for a long time, Josh McDowell was forced to the conclusion that either the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest hoax ever given to man or it is the most fantastic fact of history.
