(This is a repost from 2013, with updated links.) One can easily research Jesus’ resurrection. Mainstream media ignores it, but maybe just because it's such old news. :-) It is a matter of public record. Anyone can find sufficient historical evidence. Given the importance of the Resurrection, look into it for yourself - and live in the light of its implications.
Often you can follow the footnotes to primary sources:
For example they sometimes simply reject any texts written by Christians. This unfairly rules out any source by anyone who was convinced by the evidence, regardless of the quality of their history. Ridiculous! Imagine if Luke (a first-rate historian) had been agnostic when he set out to write his “orderly account for Theophilus,” and then became a believer during his research. Under this standard his writings would be admissible before he believed, but suddenly inadmissible after he believed – the exact same material! It’s clearly dishonest to rule out historical material on the grounds that the writer believed what they wrote to be true! So don’t be bluffed - be informed. I felt for Jo when I saw SBS's show. As suspected, it cut out the important stuff. |
