The following archaeological Proof of the Resurrection is included in the latest version of the book. Many documented physical resurrections
took place -- for centuries! The Romans were faced with empty tombs --
where the body was missing but the other articles were left. Hence, not
grave robbery! There are also numerous historical confirmations not
included here. Roman emperors, like Tiberius and later second century
ones, acknowledged the resurrection of Christ was a fact. These events
were a major incentive and proof for those who gave their lives in the
pagan persecutions. Christians preferred to die for the Creator God who
could resurrect rather than offer a pinch of incense to the pagan gods
or to a 'divine' Caesar like Caligula. Roman pagan gods .lost
credibility.
The Resurrection of Christ and physical resurrections of Christians -- and the Roman Emperors acknowledgement of them -- led to the destruction of the pagan system. This is why Constantine declared the Roman Empire 'Christian'. For the majority of the citizens, the pagan gods were dead!
