Thousands and tens of thousands of persons have gone through it piece by piece as carefully as every judge, summing up on a most important cause. I have, myself, done it many times over, not to persuade others, but to satisfy myself. I have been used for many years to study the histories of other times and examine and weight the evidence of those who have written about them.
And I know of no one fact in the history of mankind which is proved by better and fuller evidence of every sort to the understanding of a fair enquirer than the great sign which God has given that Christ died and rose again from the dead. -Dr. Thomas Arnold, Oxford University
