Why I Lean Toward the Resurrection as Plausible
The empty tomb is attested in multiple independent sources (Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John). Despite differences, the core claim remains consistent.
The early Christian proclamation of resurrection in Jerusalem, where the tomb could have been investigated, suggests confidence in the empty tomb’s veracity.
The transformation of Jesus’ followers from despondent and scattered to bold proclaimers of his resurrection implies a profound experience.
Historical explanations like hallucinations, myth development, or fraud fail to account for the specific details and the spread of belief across different communities.
The resurrection, while extraordinary, aligns with the transformative impact it had on history and the coherence of the accounts when viewed through the lens of theological reflection and testimony.
