Part 2 of a series on the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This presentation looks at how we analyze the historical facts of the resurrection and compare how the biblical account compares to other resurrection theories.
Basic overview of introductory apologetics: (1) Can we prove God's existence? (2) Is the Bible reliable? (3) Was Jesus God or a good guy? [additional references found in "notes" section of each slide]
Written as a systematic history of Jesus birth death and resurrection. Luke's Gospel was written so that any reader can be certain of the facts of Jesus life. Luke shows the activity of the Holy Spirit preparing the way for the gospel.

Learn seven key points about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Know the theories that deny the resurrection. Find out about other interpretations of the Resurrection—was it a historical fact like any other? Where does the resurrection “fit” and what does it mean? What does it mean to encounter the Risen Christ? What two extremes are we to avoid? Learn about the credibility of the Resurrection and the three ways it changed the nature of the universe.
Lesson 3 is part 1 of the conversation regarding the actual arguments toward the existence of an objective Christian worldview. In this presentation, we will analyze the cursory evidence for Christ's crucification and resurrection from the dead.

First reply:
The quote for this option resonated with me quite a bit. It opened my eyes reading this option as in my opinion, believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fundamental belief of all of Christianity. I do not think that someone can claim to be a Christian and yet deny that Christ was resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion. In the Bible this is illustrated quite clearly: "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9) Obviously scripture makes this pretty cut and dry, but something that really stuck out to me was not from the Bible, but rather our assigned reading this week. From the Resurrection and Ascension section, "there must be some historical truth in the claims of Jesus’ Resurrection, for no one trying to build a case would have rested it on the testimony of women, who had little status in a patriarchal society.” (Fisher, pg. 320) this opened my eyes a bit because I never thought of it in this sense. Of course women did not have the equal social and economic status back then as they do today in the majority of the world, so the fact that the two Marys were the first people to witness Jesus after death really lends credit to the truthfulness of the Bible. Further, I would argue that the most fundamental belief of Christianity is that Christ died to forgive the sins of all of humanity, and resurrected to rule alongside his Father in Heaven. The belief in Christ's resurrection is necessary in order to subscribe to the entire narrative of Christ being the savior and messiah of all of humanity. Without Christ's resurrection he simply becomes a martyr, or perhaps a false prophet to many people. It is his "otherworldly" resurrection that signifies his status as the savior of mankind.
Second Reply:
Hello classmates and professor,
This week I chose option A which states "the whole Christian Church stands or falls based upon the historical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." This seems to be a great debate, and I thought it'd be interesting to research. After review it seems the loyal believers of the resurrection have a few facts that they abide by. Below are those facts.
1. The Empty Tomb
2. The Burial
3. The Guard
4. The Disciples
5. The post resurrection appearance
6. The enemies of Christ gave no refutation of the resurrection
To the believers these are the undeniable facts that they go by to support that the resurrection took place. Now i will lay out the facts that the doubters go by.
1. There is no external historical confirmation of the New Testament stories
2. The New Testament stories are internally contradictory.
3. There are natural explanations for the origins of the Jesus legend

Bible Alive Jesus Christ 001: "“The Method of Biblical Christology”BibleAlive
Discover what Christology is and its relevance. Learn to properly distinguish between the Jesus of Faith and the Jesus of history. Become cautious of the pitfalls of rationalism as seen in biblical skepticism and religious fundamentalism. In this class we critique the “Quests for the Historical Jesus.” Learn about the “Old Quest” and why it failed, and also explore “the New Quest” and “the Third Quest.” See the Theological History of Jesus and learn that the Gospels are not biographies but rather inspired witnesses to the “events and teachings of Jesus insofar as they have meaning for the Church.” Most importantly, learn the right orientation for confronting the mystery of Jesus Christ.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. But if there is no resurrection of the dead,
then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not
risen, then our preaching is empty and your
faith is also empty.
What’s at Stake?
4. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile
and you are still in your sins! Then also
those who have fallen asleep in Christ have
perished. If in this life only we have hope in
Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

and said it was a hoax. Not one.
51. Explain all the facts? 3. The Disciples intentionally deceived people
Is it probable?
Made up just for this?
Best option we have?
Does it fit what we know?
The "cruncher" in this argument is the historical fact that
no one, weak or strong, saint or sinner, Christian or
heretic, ever confessed, freely or under pressure, bribe or
even torture, that the whole story of the resurrection was
a fake a lie, a deliberate deception.
Even when people broke under torture, denied Christ and
worshiped Caesar, they never let that cat out of the bag,
never revealed that the resurrection was their conspiracy.
For that cat was never in that bag. No Christians believed
the resurrection was a conspiracy; if they had, they
wouldn't have become Christians.” - Peter Kreeft

heal in a way that matched people’s accounts
of seeing him, and what they did afterward.

they did not break the legs of Jesus.
