A Trial Lawyer’s Case for the Resurrection

When it comes to life’s biggest questions, few are as defining as this: did Jesus really rise from the dead? Resurrection? Fact or Fiction: A Trial Lawyer Looks at All of the Evidence by Atty. Joe Otto invites readers into a courtroom-like examination of one of history’s most pivotal events. This isn’t a theological sermon—it’s a case built on facts, evidence, and logic, presented the way a seasoned trial lawyer would argue to a jury.

Whether you come in as a skeptic, seeker, or believer, you’ll be challenged to weigh what’s on the table. The book doesn’t just ask you to consider the Resurrection—it shows you why, beyond reasonable doubt, it changes the meaning of life, death, and eternity. By the time you close the last page, you might see this not just as a religious claim but as a reality that demands a personal verdict.

Decades in Law, A Lifetime in Faith

Atty. Joe Otto is a decorated trial lawyer, educator, and military veteran who has tried over 200 cases to jury verdict. He’s taught law at the U.S. Military Academy, served on multiple university faculties, and played a role in opening West Point’s doors to women. With decades of legal expertise and a lifetime of faith, he approaches the Resurrection not as a preacher, but as someone who knows the weight of evidence—and how it stands up under scrutiny.
