• Can a Historian Prove the Resurrection? | #39 Dr. Mike Licona

  Dr. Mike Licona, professor of New Testament Studies at Houston Christian University, joins me to discuss the philosophy of history, whether a historian can determine if an event like the resurrection of Jesus happened, and then, if they can, whether the evidence is in fact sufficient to conclude that two-thousand years ago, Jesus rose from the dead.Check our Dr. Licona's book, "The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach."To support the channel, do please oh please⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠consider donating⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Feel free to follow me on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00:00 Introduction00:01:15 Is the resurrection history or theology?00:05:29 Methodological naturalism00:24:46 Shouldn't we always prefer a natural explanation?00:37:05 Bias in conservative New Testament scholarship00:42:57 The historical case for the resurrection.00:47:05 Was Jesus' tomb found empty?00:49:53 What did the early disciples believe?00:56:32 Did Paul teach a "spiritual" resurrection?01:04:55 Alternative #1 - Someone stole the body.01:08:48 Alternative #2 - The disciples hallucinated.01:19:23 Alternatives #3 - Aliens raised Jesus from the dead.
