The cumulative case for the resurrection: what evidence we actually have

Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence? Nah. 00:40:06 – 00:41:38

Mike assembles the positive evidence for the resurrection after dismantling the slogan's objections.

Mike lists the evidential building blocks: (1) Jesus's claims and apparent miracles during his ministry; (2) his death and burial; (3) the empty tomb; (4) post-resurrection appearances to individuals and groups; (5) appearances to hostile witnesses — family members who knew him well, enemies like Paul, skeptics like James; (6) the disciples' transformed lives — against all prior expectation, willing to suffer and die; (7) written accounts; (8) the explosion of the early church; (9) the conversion of Paul (former persecutor) and James (Jesus's skeptical brother). Mike asks: what would it take to believe your brother was the Lord of all?
