The Historical Arguments for the Resurrection

The resurrection stories in Matthew Mark Luke and John are really early. This is even though the gospels were probably attaining their final form by the 60s or 70s or 80s. The problem with that is that in the ancient world, women were not regarded as credible witnesses for all sorts of reasons. But historically, it is far, far more likely that they were in the story from the beginning because of anxieties about how credible this would be.
