Video Description (from Youtube)

concluding the section on Mark 16:9-20 and a few thoughts on the implications of Mark ending at 16:8. Ref dates I give at 2:38..... These dates are likely a bit too early. These were early guesses

which I've since amended. I don't believe we can date Mark any earlier than 75 CE. Perhaps Mark was written in the 80s or even 90s, then Matthew, then Luke as late as even 140 CE.

Some resources I use for those who want to track down some of this yourselves:

Bart Ehrman books (misquoting Jesus is a good one)
Earl Doherty
G.A. Wells
Robert M. Price (the incredible shrinking son of man)
Wikipedia articles
online bibles such as blueletterbible (d o t) com
online Codex Sinaiticus
online Septuagint
Greek and Hebrew lexicons such as Strong's online lexicon

and just good old google search.

Overview & Key Concepts

What is Resurrection?

Resurrection is the concept of coming back to life after death. In a number of ancient religions, a dying-and-rising god is a deity which dies and

resurrects. The death and resurrection of Jesus, an example of resurrection, is the central focus of Christianity. As a religious concept, it is used in two distinct respects: a belief in the resurrection of individual souls that is current and ongoing (Christian idealism, realized eschatology), or else a belief in a singular resurrection of the dead at the end of the world. The resurrection of the dead is a standard eschatological belief in the Abrahamic religions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.Does the resurrection of Jesus prove he is God?

No. Jesus himself raised people after their death:

1. Jairus' daughter (Mark 5:35-43)
2. Son of a widow at Nain (Luke 11:11-17)
3. Lazarus, who was dead for four days (John 11-1-44)
4. Women received their dead by resurrection (Hebrews 11:35)
5. Elijah raised a widows son from death (I Kings 17:17-24)

Therefore, the resurrection itself would not make Jesus unique or divine even.

2.How did the early Jewish-Christians view Jesus' resurrection?

The earliest Jewish-Christians did not believe that the resurrection meant Jesus was God, but rather that he was a righteous man approved by God through miracles, wonders, and signs. Based on texts like Acts 2:22-24, they maintained the theological view that Jesus had been raised by God, not that he was the Creator himself.

3.What is the significance of Jesus' resurrection?

The resurrection of Jesus is of crucial importance to Christian doctrine. The Christian religion was founded many years after the death of Jesus based on the beliefs in his resurrection. Put simply, if there was no resurrection story, their would be no Christianity.

The reported resurrection of Jesus serves as the absolute foundational cornerstone of orthodox Christian theology and identity. Historical scholars note that institutional Christianity was organized years after Jesus' death primarily upon the early community's collective belief that he had triumphed over death. Academic consensus agrees that without the preservation and widespread propagation of this resurrection narrative, Christianity as an independent world religion would not exist.

4.Did Jesus' disciple question his resurrection?

Yes, the New Testament canonical records openly document that even members of Jesus' inner circle of chosen followers struggled to accept his physical resurrection. In the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 28:17), the text captures his final appearance on a mountain in Galilee, explicitly stating that when the disciples saw him, they worshipped him, 'but some doubted'. Modern historians view this candid admission as highly credible, showing that belief in the resurrection was complex even for early eyewitnesses.

5.What is the credibility of the Jesus' resurrection?

The resurrection is the most controversial creed issue facing Christianity today. There are numerous explanations for the resurrection, all of which are contested. There is no concensus if Jesus' tomb was found empty or not; whether disciples saw anything or not; even if anything happened or not.
