Jesus Christ: the cross and resurrection

The history begins with Jesus Christ, his crucifixion, and his resurrection. The supplied opening overview places Calvary and the empty tomb at the heart of the story, with the risen Christ presented as Lord and Savior.

Martyrs’ Mirror begins its accounts of suffering with Christ and then follows his disciples. The accompanying first-century baptism passages connect his command to teach and baptize with the apostles’ preaching and the gathered community in Acts.
