New documentary on Christâs Resurrection
WASHINGTON: A new DVD documenting evidence for the Christâs resurrection was recently released by Grizzly Adams Productions â a corporation that releases family-friendly films, television series and specials.
In the production, called The Case for Christâs Resurrection, experts will explain new discoveries that will substantiate the claims that Jesus resurrected from the grave nearly 2,000 years ago. Among the many methods, the specialists looked at the past historical record, explored current medical knowledge, investigated evidence in the lives of the Apostles, and researched about ancient Jewish burial practices to establish their claims.
The film is in stark contrast to The Lost Tomb of Jesus, a documentary by Jewish archaeologist Simcha Jacobovici (that claims the discovery of Jesusâ body as well as a wife (Mary Magdalene) and son (Judah), which received a barrage of criticism after its release. While The Case for Christâs Resurrection is using same kinds of research as Jacoboviciâs film, it has been much more overlooked.
âThe news media is irresponsible for not covering both sides of the resurrection story,â noted Bill Wilson, the editor and publisher of the Daily Jot, in a commentary piece. â<b><span style='color:red'>The hype that Christianity is false plays into the hands of a biased and secular media that seeks daily to discredit people of the Christian faith,</b></span>â he said.
The pro-resurrection film attempts to use scientific inquiry, which is often seen as completely unlinked to religion, to prove Christâs crucifixion, death, and resurrection. Some of the methods include carbon dating and forensics.
âThere is growing proof that the events depicted in the Gospel accounts are true, with more evidence being revealed regularly, thanks to modern research, analysis and scientific advances,â noted Dr Gary Habermas, a research professor and chair of the Department of Theology at the Liberty University, in a statement. âScience, combined with written descriptions, by non-Christians, of the events of Jesusâ life and death, stake it clear that Christian beliefs are grounded in fact.â
The film also contends that Jesus was seen by numerous people, Christian and non-Christian, following his death.
In addition to Christâs resurrection, the documentary will also examine the Shroud of Turin, the believed burial cloth of Christ. From it, the filmmakers have even created a 3D holographic image of Jesusâ face. The authentic 3D viewing glasses will be included with the DVD.
Wilson added in his commentary, â<span style='color:red'>Instead of giving credence to a 2,000 year-old box of bones that bear the most common names of the time, the news media ought to focus on the results of true scientific and historic research that gives proof that their souls are in need of salvation.</span>â pr
