The Testimony of the Evangelists
Christ’s Resurrection Stands Legal Test
By Dr. Simon Greenleaf
Simon Greenleaf*, one of the principal founders of the Harvard Law School, originally set out to disprove the biblical testimony concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was certain that a careful examination of the internal witness of the Gospels would dispel all the myths at the heart of Christianity. But this legal scholar came to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable, and that the resurrection did in fact happen.
