Episode notes

The idea that he was not buried is not something that scholars who believe in it, like john dominic crossan, engaged other scholars with. In almost every instance the hostile would refer to jewish tradition. The early jewish tradition says that the disciples stole the body. There's no reason even to claim that, unless the tomb was found empty. And then the enemies who believe they encountered jesus after his death. This is probably the most powerful fact in my mind.

“If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain,” writes the apostle Paul (1 Cor. 15:14), situating the resurrection as the central claim of Christianity—the foundation for the entire biblical worldview. But why is it so important? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Doug Powell discuss Christ’s resurrection as a unique claim among world religions. They also work through “The Minimal Facts” put forward by Gary Habermas, equipping listeners with an agreed-upon baseline for proving the historicity of the resurrection and evaluating objections.
