Did the resurrection really happen?

Eli: What do historians actually say about the resurrection?

Eli: Rising from the dead sounds like legend. Fair.

Eli: Yet it's widely accepted by scholars that Pilate ordered Jesus crucified.

Eli: Many scholars apply the 'criterion of embarrassment': an embarrassing detail is less likely invented.

Eli: It's widely accepted that Paul quotes an older creed.

Eli: The empty tomb is debated; some call the appearances visions.

Eli: That's not a final answer. It shows what early believers reported.

Eli: Paul wrote this to Corinth.

Eli: For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

Eli: Christians call the resurrection the foundation of their faith.

Eli: Read a Gospel, an account of Jesus's life; a local church can help.
