About this ebook
English journalist Frank Morison had a tremendous drive to learn of Christ. The strangeness of the Resurrection story had captured his attention, and, influenced by skeptic thinkers at the turn of the century, he set out to prove that the story of Christ’s Resurrection was only a myth. His probings, however, led him to discover the validity of the biblical record in a moving, personal way. Who Moved the Stone? is considered by many to be a classic apologetic on the subject of the Resurrection. Morison includes a vivid and poignant account of Christ’s betrayal, trial, and death as a backdrop to his retelling of the climactic Resurrection itself.—Print Ed.
Reviews:
“It is not only a study on the Resurrection account as the title seems to suggest, but it retells the whole passion of Jesus Christ. Because the author does not concern himself with textual criticism, he is able to impress on the reader a consistent picture of the events of Passion and Resurrection. For this reason the book will perform a helpful service to everyone who wants a reconstruction of those events.”—Augustana Book News
“A well-arranged summary of events relating to the resurrection of Christ and the pros and cons in the debate over their acceptance with emphasis on the latter.”—Watchman Examiner
“The story Mr. Morison has told of the betrayal and the trial of Christ is fascinating in its lucid, its almost incontrovertible, appeal to the reason. For me, he made those scenes live with a poignancy and vividness that I have found in no other account, not even in the various attempts that have been made to present the same facts in the guise of a novel.”—J. D. Beresford

"Who Moved The Stone" is a great book for confirming what I already believe from having read the Bible, elucuidating points upon which I hadn't hitherto dwelled, albeit not one that is easy to read, due to a writing style that is word-rich. In our fast-food society, I am guessing many would be overwhelmed by a lot of the words. I myself underlined many words to look up later, though by the context in which they were used, it was usually obvious. Still, if one likes to learn new words, confirming specific definitions is helpful. I would love to find a pared-down version of this book, to share with others who may not have as much interest in wading through words to fish out the simple message beneath them.
