The Case for the Real Jesus

I am currently reading The Case for the Real Jesus by Lee Strobel. It looks at current theories of who Jesus was by interviewing biblical experts. One expert, Michael Licona, makes the case for Jesus' resurrection from the five facts:
  1. Jesus was killed by crucifixion
  2. Jesus' desciples believed that he rose and appeared to them
  3. The conversion of the Church persecutor Paul
  4. The conversion of the skeptic James, Jesus' half-brother
  5. Jesus' tomb was empty
