About Jesus' Resurrection And Joseph's Visions: Examining
Product Description Just as the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of Christianity, the visions of Joseph Smith are the foundation of Mormonism. In Jesus’ Resurrection and Joseph’s Visions, Robert Bowman compares the evidence for Jesus’ resurrection with the evidence for Joseph’s visions, showing how the historical data confirm the truth of Jesus’ resurrection, and that the accounts of Joseph Smith’s visions are historically unreliable. For Mormons who have doubts about their religion, this study will help them find a more reliable basis for faith in Christ. For Christians, this study provides a fresh angle on the historical evidence for the truth of Christianity. Review Robert Bowman has done a wonderful service for anyone interested in the foundations of traditional Christianity and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With fairness, and yet historical rigor, he examines the central events that lie at the heart of both Christianity and Mormonism. Jesus’ Resurrection and Joseph’s Visions is a must-read for scholars and lay people who are open to considering the historical credibility of the respective religions. Even if you disagree with Bowman’s conclusions, you will gain a much deeper understanding of the evidence in favor of (and against) the foundational events for traditional Christianity and Mormonism. Sean McDowell, Associate Professor of Apologetics, Talbot School of Theology Seldom are readers treated to such a scholarly evaluation of a prominent religious movement as Robert Bowman has undertaken in this volume. Time and again the necessary care is taken to document the myriad details, along with the corresponding, painstaking analysis and interpretation. The notes and sources by themselves are truly worth the price of the volume. Highly recommended. Gary R. Habermas, Distinguished Research Professor & Chair, Philosophy Department, Liberty University Robert Bowman invites us to the court of reason. Those on trial are Jesus, Joseph, the apostle Paul, and all who became part of the ‘Restoration of the Gospel.’ Jesus’ Resurrection and Joseph’s Visions is a compelling case, and no doubt Mormons and Evangelicals will want to dialogue about it. The research is thorough and thought-provoking. No matter your view, you will follow intently as Dr. Bowman examines the witnesses to see if any were frauds. From the evidence, you can draw your verdict. Donna Morley, Co-founder, Faith and Reason Forum, Adjunct Professor, The Master’s University The apostle Paul claimed the risen Jesus had appeared to him. So did Joseph Smith. Is one justified in believing the former while doubting the latter? No one on Earth is more qualified to answer this question than Robert Bowman, a very careful scholar who is an expert on both the historical Jesus and Mormonism. You will not find Mormon-bashing in this volume. Instead, readers will encounter carefully and clearly articulated arguments based on a robust knowledge of the primary sources of early Christianity and Mormonism. If you are a Mormon or are considering joining the LDS Church, or if you have any other interest in Mormonism, I commend this book to you above all others. Michael Licona, Associate Professor of Theology, Houston Baptist University Over the years, Robert Bowman has proven to be a reliable source and guide when it comes to theological and historical research. This book once again reveals his seasoned skills as he explores in great detail and in parallel fashion both the founder of Mormonism and the experience of early Christianity’s leading voice, the apostle Paul. Bowman’s book is well written, ably documented, and fair-minded. Paul Copan, Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University
