Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah and the Savior of the human race, who died for the sins of humanity on the cross (1 Cor. 15:3). The next verse adds the essential ""that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures."" In Jesus' Death and Burial, Michael Alter critically surveys the writings of leading Christian apologists about Jesus' death and burial, and then explains why detractors and skeptics cannot accept the New Testament claim that Jesus died on the cross and received a tomb burial. The Resurrection and Its Apologetics is an in-depth series that significantly contributes both to the academic and non-academic world reviewing and analyzing the most salient claims put forward in defense of Jesus' death, burial, and bodily resurrection from the dead.
