Witnesses to The Resurrection
Presentation for the PNW Study – 2022.
The focus of this study was on what one scholar calls the ‘minimal facts.’ That is to say, those facts which, generally, even most atheist critics of the Bible agree upon.
The study centered on those Luke describes in Acts 1:3 as “to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.”
- The women on the day of His resurrection
- The Apostles and other individuals over the course of the next several weeks
- More than 500 disciples who saw Christ in Galilee, most of whom were still alive when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15:6 some 25 to 30 years later.
- Paul on the road to Damascus
– and finally – - John on the island of Patmos
