Episode notes

One of the central arguments against christianity right now is that it's a legend. We know that his conversion experience was within one to five years of the crucifixion. So we do have a document of the very earliest, a record of what the earliest christians believe. And that verse you read, especially three through seven, of those verses are incredibly important as an apologetic because will be talking about some of the alternate theories to the res action.

“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.
