Evidence For The Resurrection Of Jesus | Dr. Craig Hazen

Biola on the Road presents the conference Reasonable Faith in an Uncertain World. Craig Hazen addresses evidence for the resurrection of Jesus.

Discussion questions:

1. Why is the 'Legend' Theory so appealing and popular to skeptics?

2. Name as many known Historical Facts concerning the Resurrection Events that are agreed upon by all legitimate scholars?

3. Think of at least two supporting arguments to establish each of these three facts of the resurrection?

• Jesus' empty tomb.
• Jesus' appearances after His death.
• The origin of the disciples' belief of His resurrection.

4. Most skeptics reject the idea of miracles altogether. How does establishing the historical context lend credibility to the miracle of the resurrection?

5. Saul of Tarsus was a persecutor of Christians until an encounter with the risen Christ on the Damascus road spurred his transformation to Paul the Apostle. How does the uniqueness of Paul's experience lend credibility to the resurrection story?

6. What is so significant about the fact that James crossed over from skeptic to believer? What would it take for you to believe that your sibling was the Messiah sent from God?
