Foundation for Reformed Theology


Greetings!

Dr. Thomas A. Miller, practicing surgeon, professor of surgery, research scientist, elder at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church in Richmond, Virginia, and a friend of the Foundation for Reformed Theology, has written and published a new book, Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? A Surgeon-Scientist Examines the Evidence (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2013), 176 pp.

This book is, I suspect, unlike any other you have ever read. It deals not only with the content of the affirmation of the resurrection but also with the nature and practice of science, the nature and practice of history, the reliability of the New Testament texts, and so forth. And whereas, for instance, I might argue from the power of God to the reality of the resurrection, Dr. Miller argues from the resurrection back to the existence of God (pp. 131-46).

I commend this to you both for its fresh approach and for its strong affirmations. You may find it helpful not only for personal reading but also for church classes and discussion groups.
Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?

How can a respected scientist believe in the resurrection? Can I trust the Bible's account that Jesus actually rose from the dead? If the resurrection really occurred, of what importance is it to you and me?

Our ready embrace of the authority of science has left many doubting that Jesus's resurrection was a verifiable, historical event. Yet Thomas Miller, an experienced scientist and well-respected surgeon, challenges the notion that modern medicine has disproved the possibility of the resurrection.

Through careful investigation of the evidence and evaluation of its reliability, Dr. Miller demonstrates that science and religion are not incompatible and makes a compelling case for the reality of the resurrection.

Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?

"Dr. Miller has powerfully and uniquely described the resurrection of Jesus Christ, making it intellectually tenable to the scientific mind."
--Carl Haisch, Professor of Surgery, Director of Surgical Education, Associate Dean for Faculty Development, East Carolina University

"While many books have been written about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, both pro and con, this work is one-of-a-kind. Most references cite evidence using both medical and scientific expertise. As an accomplished practicing surgeon and research scientist, Miller has approached this book methodically and comprehensively after devoting many years of study. This is an outstanding resource for anyone questioning the authenticity of the resurrection, or for those seeking to better understand the foundation of the Christian faith."
--Jeannie Falwell Savas, Associate Professor of Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University; Chief of Surgery, McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center
