Who Moved
the Stone?
The Evidence for the Resurrection
A journalist's investigation into the events surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus, presented in a carefully edited edition with additional material for the modern reader.
The book
A question worth examining.
What happened after the crucifixion, and what does the evidence suggest?
When Frank Morison began examining the Gospel accounts, he expected to challenge the traditional Christian explanation of the resurrection. Instead, his investigation led him to reconsider his assumptions. Who Moved the Stone?, first published in 1930, sets out the case that emerged from his study.
Morison approaches the subject through the details: the events surrounding the burial, the empty tomb, the testimony of witnesses, and the behaviour of the people involved. The result is a work of Christian apologetics grounded in an examination of the narratives and their historical setting.
The book invites readers to follow an argument rather than simply accept a conclusion. It will interest readers exploring Christianity, those with questions about the resurrection, and groups interested in discussing the historical claims at the centre of Christian belief.
