Overview
The resurrection is supported by multiple lines of evidence: the empty tomb, post-mortem appearances to individuals and groups, the transformation of the disciples, and the origin of the Christian faith. Naturalistic explanations (hallucination, conspiracy, swoon theory) fail to account for all the data.
Key Points
Empty tomb is multiply attested
Post-mortem appearances to skeptics (Paul, James)
Disciples' transformation from fear to boldness
Christianity arose in Jerusalem where disproof was possible
