The Question Answered

This apologetic work examines the historical case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the perspective of Sir Lionel Luckhoo, a lawyer who evaluates the evidence in a legal and historical framework. Beginning with the question of whether Jesus truly rose from the dead, Luckhoo organizes his argument around seven major questions. He considers the historical existence of Jesus, His arrest and trial, the legal proceedings before Annas, Caiaphas, and Pilate, the crucifixion and burial, the empty tomb, the evidence for the resurrection, and whether Jesus is alive today. Particular attention is given to the legality of Jesus’ trial under Jewish and Roman procedures. Luckhoo appeals to the Gospel accounts as well as historical writers and legal authorities in presenting his case. He concludes that the evidence supports the bodily resurrection of Jesus and presents that conclusion as foundational to Christian hope, salvation, and eternal life.
