I just finished a lengthy book by Mike Licona
http://www.amazon.com/The-Resurrection- ... surrection

He took a historians approach to the resurrection hypothesis

He did a good job of being honest about biases (toward Christianity)

But I think his work was very fair and his conclusions compelling

His argument was basically that there are some historical bedrock (things that basically all historians agree about).

And that of all the theories that have been put forward, only the resurrection hypothesis really makes sense of the historical bedrock.

He had a very good couple of chapters on the nature of historical research and whether or not 'miracles' can be considered by historians.

That book looks really interesting. I do believe I will purchase it. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you for the clip/vid.

I'm glad you are saying "He is risen" rather than "He has risen" as several modern translations falsely render it.

It's parallel to the difference between saying, "My chicken has eaten" and "My chicken is eaten."

"He is risen" is tantamount to "He has been raised" just as "My chicken is eaten" is tantamount to "My chicken has been eaten."

I had a seminary professor who was careful to emphasize that Easter is about an 'emptied tomb' more than just an empty one.
