The resurrection is not merely important to the historic Christian faith; without it, there would be no Christianity. It is the singular doctrine that elevates Christianity above all other world religions. Through the resurrection, Christ demonstrated that He does not stand in a line of peers with Abraham, Buddha, or Confucius. He is utterly unique. He has the power not only to lay down His life, but to take it up again.

Hendrik „Hank“ Hanegraaff (* 1950) ist ein US-amerikanischer Autor und Apologet, der seit 1989 das Christian Research Institute leitet und durch die Radiosendung „The Bible Answer Man“ bekannt wurde. Er profilierte sich durch die rationale Verteidigung christlicher Grundlehren und seine Kritik am Wohlstandsevangelium, löste jedoch 2017 mit seinem Übertritt zur östlichen Orthodoxie anhaltende Kontroversen im evangelikalen Raum aus. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er systematische Erklärungen zu zentralen Bibelstellen und regt zur Auseinandersetzung über das Verhältnis von biblischer Autorität und historischer Kirchentradition an.
