With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

The life, death, and resurrection of Christ is the most documented event of ancient history. There is more evidence for Jesus Christ than there is of Plato, Aristotle, or Socrates, so to see Christ as a fable is to deny over 25,000 documents that say otherwise. So our choice is clear: either we can ignore the overwhelming witness that God left for us, or we can carefully investigate the record. God has given us all that we need to know Jesus and the power of his resurrected life.
