(1 Corinthians 15:14) Furthermore‚ "You are still in your sins!” Paul could not have chosen stronger language. (Mohler) Still‚ the resurrection of Jesus Christ has been under persistent

The “minimal facts approach” to the resurrection question is an approach that focuses on the lowest common denominator of agreed upon facts. For the most part‚ all facts presented within this approach meet two criteria: “they are well evidenced and nearly every scholar accepts them” (Habermas & Licona‚ 2004‚ p. 44). This approach only considers strongly attested historical data. So strongly in fact‚ that they are almost universally granted by nearly every scholar‚ both the skeptical and believing
