Would the Resurrection Survive Cross-Examination?
In brief
Angie Allen applies the standard of explanatory adequacy to the Christian claim of the Resurrection in her book, Resurrection on Trial.
In her analysis, Allen distinguishes between the standard of proof used in civil verdicts, which requires a preponderance of evidence, and the methods used by forensic investigators and historians. She uses the latter approach to determine if the Resurrection can sufficiently explain historical events.
