Risen by Power: Who Raised Jesus from the Dead—and What It Means for His Divinity
$37.00$27.00
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the heart of Christianity. Strip it away, and the entire faith collapses. Keep it, and everything else—His teachings, His miracles, His claims—stand vindicated. For two thousand years, Christians have declared with confidence: “He is risen!” But this bold proclamation is not without controversy.
For many of our Muslim friends, the resurrection raises serious questions—not just about history, but about theology and identity. Chief among them: If Jesus is truly God, why didn’t He raise Himself from the dead? And if God raised Him, doesn’t that mean Jesus is not God but only a servant? These are sincere questions, deserving thoughtful and respectful answers.
In Islam, Jesus (or Isa) is deeply honored as a prophet, born of a virgin, performing miracles by God’s permission. But the Qur’an teaches that Jesus was not crucified, and therefore, not resurrected. In contrast, the Bible declares not only that Jesus died, but that He rose again on the third day. Christians see this as the ultimate proof of His divine identity. Muslims, however, often view it as a stumbling block.
This book was written to address that very tension. Not to debate for the sake of argument, but to engage with honesty, clarity, and love. At the center of this discussion is a question that touches both faith and reason: Who raised Jesus from the dead?
The Bible gives us a fascinating answer—one that involves not only God the Father, but the Holy Spirit and Jesus Himself. The resurrection, far from disproving Jesus’ divinity, actually reveals the unity and majesty of the Triune God.
Over the next 25 chapters, we will explore this theme from every angle:
Biblical: What does Scripture say about who raised Jesus?
Theological: What does the resurrection teach us about the nature of God?
Historical: Can we trust the accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection?
Apologetic: How do we respond to Muslim objections?
Personal: What does the resurrection mean for you and me today?
This journey may challenge you, encourage you, or even surprise you. My hope is that it will point you to the living Christ—the One who died, who rose, and who invites you to know Him not as a distant prophet, but as the Savior of the world.
Come and see. The tomb is empty—and everything has changed.
