"Investigating the Resurrection" Recap

We had a great night on Friday’s “Investigating the Resurrection” event. About 80 people came out to hear Chad do a fantastic job speaking about how the resurrection of Jesus holds up to historical investigation. He presented the minimal facts to be explained - the evidence that critical and non-critical scholars all agree on – and then evaluated popular proposed explanations. He concluded by showing that the hypothesis that best explains the evidence is that “God raised Jesus from the dead!” Lots of discussion after the talk Chad made numerous references to J. Warner Wallace, once atheist cold case detective turned Christian. J. Warner converted after using his detective training to analyze the evidence for Christianity. You can check out his work here. Chad has graciously offered his slides and personal lecture notes for anyone that’s interested. Either click the links above check out our resources page. The talk and Q&A was recorded and will be made available soon so stay posted for details. Thank you to everyone who came out Friday night!
