Did It Actually Happen?

For more than 30 years, I've worked as a licensed accountant, testing whether the numbers someone hands me actually hold up. In this episode, I bring that same posture to the biggest claim in Christianity, that a man who was dead on Friday was alive on Sunday. Watch the full episode Read the blog post I start at a Thanksgiving table, with a son asking his dad a question the dad doesn't have an answer for, and open the file from there. We look at Paul's letter to the Corinthians, the earliest written record of the resurrection, where he tells you exactly how to prove his own religion false. Then I walk through four lines of historical evidence: how early the claim actually is, how embarrassing the details are, why the empty tomb mattered in that specific city, and why the people closest to it never took the easy way out, even facing death. I also give the leading alternative theories, swoon, wrong tomb, hallucination, and legend, an honest hearing. By the end, the question isn't whether I've proven anything. It's what changes in your life if this is true, how you talk to a doubting kid without panicking, and how you stand at a grave.
