The Big Conversation - Episode 1 | Season 5   The rise of Christianity has shaped the modern world, but are its historical origins best explained in purely naturalistic terms, or the explanation the first followers gave – that Jesus had risen from the dead?   New Testament historian Bart Ehrman doesn’t believe in the miraculous claims of the New Testament, including the resurrection of Jesus. New Testament scholar Justin Bass argues in his book ‘The Bedrock of Christianity’ for a number of facts concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus, that point to its truth. They debate scripture, history and the resurrection.   • For bonus content, updates and more shows sign up at: http://www.thebigconversation.show • Take our survey! https://survey-star.net/bart   The Big Conversation is a video series from Premier Unbelievable? featuring world-class thinkers across the religious and non-religious community.
