#14: The Resurrection and Post-Resurrection Appearances of Christ

In this podcast we discuss: What does it mean that Christianity is “verifiable” and “falsifiable”? Minimal Facts Approach - What are the historical facts that are generally agreed upon by Christians and non-Christians alike? Are the accounts of those who saw the resurrected Jesus likely to be accurate? What are the discontinuities between the gospel accounts and mythological writing? What are continuities and discontinuities with Jesus’s body pre-resurrection and post-resurrection? What should we make of the stories of people rising to life around the time that Jesus died? Is it possible to present evidence that Jesus of Nazareth is Yahweh, the God who created the universe? How do we use historical critical methodologies wisely?
