McInnis,
I enclosed the heading from a private message I sent to you. The lecture I listened to yesterday had several examples like this one. If there are other posters who are interested, let me know and I will send you a copy also.
A small intro to Simon Greenleaf. In 1842 he wrote the three volumes on evidence to be used in courts in the United States. His volumes are still used in law schools today to teach students how to properly access evidence.
Testimony of the Evangelists by Simon Greenleaf (1783-1853)
Greenleaf, one of the principle founders of the Harvard Law School, originally set out to disprove the biblical testimony concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was certain that a careful examination of the internal witness of the Gospels would dispel all the myths at the heart of Christianity. But this legal scholar came to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable, and that the resurrection did in fact happen.
