The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Says the apostle Paul, if Christ has not been raised, you are dead in your sins and your faith is in vain. The historical argument for the resurrection of Jesus has played a chief role in Christian apologetics, as well. In this episode, Zach takes a whirlwind tour through the theology of resurrection, the history of the argument, and lastly a survey of the modern formulations of the argument.
