Faith Forensics: Case FF-002 Did The Resurrection Happen?

High School Bible Investigation | Christian Apologetics | Inquiry- Based Bible Study

Turn your students into investigators as they examine one of Christianity’s most important questions:

Did the Resurrection Happen?

Victim: Jesus of Nazareth

Location: Jerusalem

Central Question: Did Jesus actually rise from the dead?
