Dr. Michael Licona is a New Testament scholar, historian, and leading expert on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dr. Licona states that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so important because it is the sure proof that Jesus is the Son of God (Mathew 12:38-40).
He explains that it stands up quite well when examined by the Historical Method. That Jesus actually rose from the dead is the most plausible explanation for the facts that the overwhelming majority of historians accept as true from the gospel accounts.
