Christianity stands or falls on this tenet of the faith. If Christ is risen, he is all he said he was—the Messiah, the Son of God, the eternal king. If he isn’t risen, he’s dead—and irrelevant. Either way, we don’t need more signs. We need to choose to believe what the evidence clearly shows.

D. Stuart Briscoe
D. Stuart Briscoe (1930–2022) war ein britisch-US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Autor, der drei Jahrzehnte lang die Elmbrook Church in Wisconsin leitete. Er stand für eine praxisnahe, christuszentrierte Schriftauslegung und vermittelte biblische Lehre mit britischem Humor und starkem Alltagsbezug. Für Bibelleser heute verbinden seine Texte theologische Kernaussagen mit handfesten Impulsen für die persönliche Nachfolge.
