5.0 out of 5 stars The book left me on an emotional and intellectual high!, November 20, 1999

This review is from: The Resurrection Report (Paperback)

I enjoyed William Proctor's idea of using a modern-day investigative journalism approach to review whether or not an important part of religious history is newsworthy.

I liked the detailed way in which the author covers his potential news story. The book is written in a way that the reader is able to easily follow and understand the investigation process. The book content is like reading an interesting newspaper report or watching a captivating broadcast investigative show such as 20/20 or Dateline.

The Resurrection Report is an easy and quick read. It is an intellectual yet uncomplicated and unpretentious approach to an age-old topic -- the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fresh, Objective Look At An Event 2000 Years Ago, January 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Resurrection Report (Paperback)

Applying the modern-day journalist's standard--point-by-point--to the resurrection of Jesus Christ brings a new perspective.

Proctor uses the test of good journalism to evaluate the resurrection accounts of 2000 years ago. (Click on the "Table of Contents" under "Book Information" in the upper lefthand corner of this screen to see the standards he uses.) This point-by-point evaluation provides new insight to an event that I thought I knew well. Also, by comparing and folding the various accounts into a single "news event" the reader comes to a new appreciation of the breadth of the Biblical information.

Very readable, yet powerful in its comprehensive approach.

This review is from: The Resurrection Report (Paperback)

This book is so uniquely written. I found it refreshing and highly thought provoking. Even though we are all very familiar with this awesome story, The Resurrection Report allows the reader to look at this story in a brand new light. Words can't express how deeply moved I was by this book. Mr. Proctor did an outstanding job!
