The Case for Easter Bible Study Guide: Investigating the Evidence for the Resurrection: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Case for Easter Bible Study Guide: Investigating the Evidence for the Resurrection" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In his bestselling book The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel retraced his spiritual journey from atheism to faith by showing how the evidence he obtained from experts in the field of history, archaeology, and ancient manuscripts led him to the verdict that Jesus truly was the Son of God. Now, in this four-week study for Easter (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Lee investigates the story surrounding the resurrection of Jesusand how we can know that it is true.

In each session, he will explore the following aspects of the Easter story:

  • What the Gospel accounts actually say about Jesus death and resurrection, how we can reconcile the discrepancies between the accounts, and how we can know the biblical accounts are accurate
  • How we can use a technique known as five minimal factsfacts on which even skeptical scholars agree are trueand medical evidence to build a strong case for Jesus resurrection
  • What the evidence in the Gospels reveals about the Jesus tomb being empty, why the Gospel writers are credible when they make this claim, and what this evidence leads us to conclude
  • Who the Bible states witnessed Jesus being alive after the crucifixion, how early creeds emerged that stated Jesus was alive, and how its clear the early church carried on this teaching
  • The Case for Easter invites participants to examine the evidence for themselves and consider whether the story of Jesus resurrection makes sense. It will point them to the inescapable conclusion that led Lee from atheism to Christianity: Jesus was the Son of God who conquered the grave.

    Designed for use with The Case for Christmas Video Study/The Case for Easter Video Study (sold separately). This DVD is a set of two videos to accompany The Case for Christmas Study Guide and The Case for Easter Study Guide (each guide sold separately).

    D o you have questions about the first Easter? Then you are in the right place. During the next four weeks, you and your group will look at the story surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesusand how you can know the events recorded in the Bible are true.

    The Case for Easter video study is designed to be experienced in a group setting such as a Bible study, Sunday school class, or any small group gathering. Each session begins with a brief introduction and opening questions to get you and your group thinking about the topic. You will then watch a video with Lee Strobel and jump into some directed small-group discussion. You will close each session with a time of prayer.

    Each person in the group should have his or her own study guide, which includes video teaching notes, group discussion questions, and between-sessions personal studies to help you reflect on the material during the week. You are also encouraged to have a copy of The Case for Easter book, as reading it alongside the curriculum will provide you with deeper insights and make the journey more meaningful.

    To get the most out of your group experience, keep the following points in mind. First, the real growth in this study will happen during your small-group time. This is where you will process the content of Lees message, ask questions, and learn from others as you hear what God is doing in their lives. For this reason, it is important for you to be fully committed to the group and attend each session so you can build trust and rapport with the other members. If you choose to only go through the motions, or if you refrain from participating, there is a lesser chance you will find what youre looking for during this study.

    Second, the goal of your small group is to serve as a place where you can share, learn about God, and build intimacy and friendship with others. For this reason, seek to make your group a safe place. This means being honest about your thoughts and feelings and listening carefully to everyone elses opinion. Resist the temptation to fix someones problem or correct his or her theology, as thats not the purpose of your small-group time. Also, keep everything your group shares confidential. This will foster a rewarding sense of community in your group and create a place where people can heal, be challenged, and grow spiritually.

    In between your group times, you can maximize the impact of the curriculum by completing the personal study activities. This individual study will help you reflect and actively respond to the lesson. You may wish to complete the personal study in one sitting or spread it over a few days (for example, working on it a half-hour per day on four different days that week). Note that if you are unable to finish (or even start!) your between-sessions personal study, you should still attend the group study video session. You are still wanted and welcome at the group even if you dont have your homework done.

    Keep in mind that the videos, discussions, and activities are simply meant to kick-start your imagination so you will be open to what God wants you to hear through this study. The goal is for you to see the Easter story in a whole new light and know with confidence that the Gospel accounts of Jesus death and resurrection are accurate and true. This will hopefully prove to be a journey that will stimulate your mind, warm your heart, and satisfy your soul.

    Sound good? Then lets get started.

    Note: If you are a group leader, there are additional resources provided in the back of this guide to help you lead your group members through the study.

    A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic... or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse.

    C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

    Introduction

    For many of us, there were two stories in our childhood that captured the essence of Easter. Like the rails of a train track, the duo never intersected but ran in parallel tandem through our memories. The first was the story of the Easter Bunny. We heard tales of the happy white rabbit, dressed in human clothes, who would fill empty baskets with all sorts of our favorite chocolate candies... if we behaved ourselves throughout the year.

    The other rail was more serious. It was the story of Jesus Christ, who died on the cross in a grotesque manner known as a crucifixion on Good Friday, but then miraculously rose from the grave on Easter Sunday to show his power over sin, death, and hell. Easter would likely find us dressed in our Sunday finest, attending a church service (whether we were regular church attenders or not), and returning home to baskets of melting chocolate while we waited for the familys traditional Easter dinner. If we were lucky, there would be an after-dinner Easter egg hunt featuring color-dyed, hard-boiled eggs.

    The Easter Bunny and the resurrection of Jesus. One is decidedly childish, while the other represents the most profound event to ever occur in human history. But for many people today, believing Jesus claims that he was the Son of Godand that he actually rose from the dead on the third dayis like believing the big magical bunny is real. They doubt whether the Gospel accounts can be trusted and prefer to pass off the story as a legend or mere mistake.
