Many theories have been advanced, attempting to show that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was a fraud. At Easter time it is not uncommon for specials to be aired on television seeking to challenge the reality of the resurrection. We examine three of the more popular theories: the swoon theory, the hallucination theory, and the impersonation theory. There is ample evidence to refute all of these theories and more. We can believe in a resurrection that proves Jesus to be the Son of God, the Savior of the world and the person through whom we can gain eternal life.
