A writer who set out to tell the last days of Jesus without the resurrection, and found the evidence led him the other way. His book Who Moved the Stone? (1930) opens with that story.

His account
Morison (the pen name of Albert Henry Ross) explains in his first chapter that he planned a different book, and that studying the trial and the last week of Jesus changed his mind about the resurrection.

Why the evidence matters
If Jesus rose, His offer is real
God loves you and gave His Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish.
