Episode notes
Resurrection Presented As Historical Fact
- The resurrection accounts are presented as literal historical events, not symbolic stories about how to live.
- Timothy Keller points to Luke's detail of Jesus eating broiled fish to prove Jesus had flesh and bones and was not a phantom.
Resurrection Makes You Rethink Your Core Beliefs
- The resurrection shatters common paradigms about life, God, and other religions by forcing reassessment of core beliefs.
- Keller lists paradigms overturned: life-is-all, a remote God, and the idea all religions are essentially the same.
Women As First Witnesses Strengthen Historicity
- Women being first eyewitnesses argues against legendary invention because ancient authors wouldn't invent low-status witnesses.
- Keller uses this cultural detail to support the historical reliability of the resurrection accounts.
