Episode notes

There are a lot of facts that are listed in the new testament about what happened to jesus, running up to his execution. But not all new testament scholars believe all those facts are actually facts. Using those few facts, you can still showd that the only thing that makes sense of those few facts is the resurrection. This was a method of argument developed by garry habrmass who was one of my professors.

“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.
