Observations On The History and Evidences of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, Gilbert West, 1747

Gilbert West’s Observations on the History and Evidences of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most influential works of 18th-century English Christian apologetics. West initially had doubts about Christianity and set out to examine the evidence critically, eventually ending up to become a convinced believer. Here in West's observations is presents an almost forensic examination of the Gospel accounts of the Resurrection. It aims to demonstrate that the narrative is historically credible.
