Morrison, Charles R. (Charles Robert)
"The Proofs of Christ's Resurrection; from a Lawyer's Standpoint" by Charles R. Morrison is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the historical evidence and arguments concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ, presenting the case from the perspective of legal evidence. Primarily addressing the authenticity of the New Testament writings, it aims to provide a reliable examination of their implications regarding Christ's claims as a divine figure. At the start of the treatise, Morrison establishes the significance of Christ's resurrection as a pivotal question in Christianity, emphasizing its relevance for believers and skeptics alike. He introduces the necessity for rigorous inquiry into the evidence surrounding this miracle and critiques the assumptions of those who deny the possibility of miracles. Morrison intends to use principles of law to analyze historical claims and will reference the works of early Christian figures such as Justin Martyr and Papias, setting the stage for a detailed examination of the sources of evidence he plans to present in succeeding chapters.
