1 Corinthians 15:3-7 is the earliest resurrection record — within five years of the crucifixion and agreed upon by over 90% of scholars

Skeptics Respond To The Evidence For The Resurrection of Jesus 00:43:11 – 00:44:43

Q&A — response to George Cook's question about the earliest scriptural record of the resurrection

Mike states that well over 90% of scholars — including skeptical ones — agree that the creedal material in 1 Corinthians 15:3-7 dates to within five years of the crucifixion. He reads the text: Christ died for sins according to the scriptures, was buried, rose on the third day according to the scriptures, appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve, then to more than 500 at once (most still alive at the time of writing), then to James, then to all the apostles. Mike notes verse 8 (Paul's own encounter) is likely his own addition to a pre-existing creed.
