Scholars claim that you can see legend happening in the gospels themselves. So all this couldn't have started developing in the early church at all. The real defeater of this is something we talked about in the last episode, whichis, wouldn't it be great if we had an actual document that listed the beliefs of the earliest christians?
Having established the minimal facts of the resurrection, how do we respond when people suggest alternative theories for explaining the missing body, the empty tomb, and Christ’s post-resurrection appearances? Did Jesus simply faint on the cross? Was his body stolen? Did the women go to the wrong tomb? Did the disciples make up the resurrection story, or did it grow and develop over the years? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Doug Powell evaluate these common objections and more, helping you prepare for discussions around the table this Easter.
