Resurrection - Fact or Fiction: A Trial Lawyer Looks at All of the Evidence

by Wilbur McCoy Otto

Overview

Why Did I Write This Book?

If Jesus was resurrected with a new body after death, this is easily the single most central fact and event in all history - past, present or future. Quite simply, it is a matter of life or death leading each person to decide whether our earthly life –

• will have been but a “vanishing mist,” with nothing thereafter; or
• is a mere passageway – like passing through a foreign country before returning to our native land - in this case, God’s Kingdom and Eternity!

Should one choose to not believe that Jesus was resurrected – read on – because fact is fact, truth is truth and non-belief erases neither. Whether seeker, agnostic, atheist, skeptic, young or old, this book will present facts and evidence you may have never read or considered. These facts and the evidence are not assembled by a theologian, but rather by an experienced Trial Lawyer, and are such that will convince any lay jury beyond any reasonable doubt that Jesus was the first resurrection – to be followed by all of His followers.

In this ever-increasingly evil world, it is our young people - our precious children and grandchildren - that are at greatest risk, and perhaps this includes you or one you love.

In addition to the above, why did we write this book? How could we not! As water must flow over a waterfall, so must God’s and His children’s love and desire for none to perish flow over all, including -

• our children and grandchildren,
• our neighbors;
• the lost; and finally
• YOU and yours!

Remember, there is only one person ever born who has proclaimed “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” (Jesus at Jn. 14:6.) Please, elect, nay seize this Eternal L ife for yourself!

About the Author

My senior high school annual read: “Joe Otto, a US Senator, made out great – he is a presidential candidate!” However, fate had very different plans. I soon met God’s chosen and ideal mate at Dickinson College, graduated from Michigan Law School, served in the JAGC, U.S. Army, assigned to the faculty of the U.S. Military Academy teaching law, and after having had two daughters born at West Point, revised the Academy’s entrance criteria to allow women candidates.

Thereafter, I served on the faculties of Point Park University, the University of Pittsburgh, and numerous Trial Advocacy Institutes at the Universities of Michigan, Pittsburgh and Duquesne Law Schools and as a trial lawyer tried over 200 cases to jury verdict while supervising thousands of other cases. At the same time, we also helped build one of Pittsburgh’s largest law firms, medical systems and the captive insurance industry.

In the process we have raised 4 children – all lawyers, one a judge - and currently are praying hard for our 9 grandchildren - including graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy, Michigan, Olivet-Nazarene, and Penn State, with Dickinson College, Ohio University and West Point currently pending.

I have also taught numerous Adult Sunday School classes, and in the process realized that while thorough study of the Bible and God’s Word will lead any open-minded person to God and all fundamental truths – the average person will never take time to do so. However, in all of God’s Truth one single fact stands out that if proven, will confirm to all God and His plan for salvation and eternity. This fact is of the bodily Resurrection of Jesus following His crucifixion and death. Finally, to present the evidentiary proof of this fact, not as a theologian, but rather as a layman, and Trial Lawyer experienced in the presentation of evidentiary facts to a lay jury - and now to You!

Currently, with His leading we are working on two other books: “The Christian Walk and World View,” and “Life is a 2 Act Play: Act I is Required, Act II is an Elective.”
