Chapter 12 The Evidenc of the Missing Body
Page 209: "When we turn to the gospels, we find multiple, independent attestation of this burial story, and Joseph of Arimathea is specifically named in all four accounts. On top of that, the burial story in Mark is so extemely early that it's simply not possible for it to have been subject to legendary corruption."

Chapter 13 The Evidence of Appearances
Page 235: "All of the gospels and Acts evidence - incident after incident, witness after witness, detail after detail, corroboration after corroboration- was extremely impressive. Although I tried, I couldn't think of any more thoroughly attested event in ancient history."
Chapter 14 The Cicumstantial Evidence
Page 249: "Muhammad claims he went into a cave and had a religious experience in which Allah revealed the Koran to him. There's no other eyewitness to verify this. Muhammad offered no publicly miraculous signs to certify anything."
