It took me two years to delve into the minutiae of the historical data concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus until November the 8th of 1981.

And I said to myself, you know, I've been doing this two years.

The evidence is in.

A good jury reaches a verdict.

So I got all the data I gathered.

Back then, this was before the internet, so it's a microfilm.

Oh, yeah.

I remember once I requested an interlibrary loan at the Chicago Library because I was trying to find this obscure book written by one of the founders of Harvard Law School who had become a Christian in the 1800s or whatever.

And...

Six months later, I get a phone call.

We found your book.

That's what it took.

I mean, that's why it took me two years.

Talk about investigative journalism.

I delved into this stuff and into microfilm and libraries and museums and so forth, interviewing scholars and experts until November the 8th of 81 when I realized any good juror reaches a verdict.

And the evidence was in.

I need to reach a verdict.

And I looked at the data concerning the resurrection.

It is fascinating how much data.

I'll tell you a little story.
