The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity. Multiple lines of historical evidence — from the empty tomb to the transformation of the disciples — provide a compelling case that Jesus truly rose from the dead.
Key Question
Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
1 Corinthians 15:3-8
“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”
Romans 1:4
“And was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
“Using only the 'minimal facts' accepted by virtually all scholars — including skeptics — the resurrection remains the best explanation for the historical data.”
“The willingness of the apostles to suffer and die for their testimony of the risen Jesus is powerful evidence that they genuinely believed they had seen Him alive.”
“As a journalist, I found that the evidence for the resurrection would stand up in any courtroom. The eyewitness testimony, the empty tomb, and the transformation of the disciples all point to a real historical event.”
