N.T. Wright: Did Jesus rise from the dead? (Part 1)

About this episode

N.T. Wright discusses the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus and critiques skeptical alternatives.

The resurrection isn't a theological idea. It's a historical claim. And most people have never heard the actual evidence historians evaluate. (Listen to Part 2 here , and the full interview here .) NT Wright, one of the world's leading scholars on early Christianity, walks through the case, and explains why the standard skeptical alternatives keep falling apart. Get Surprised by Hope and God's Homecoming 🔓 Members get the full unedited conversation with NT Wright, including his extended breakdown of what the New Testament actually says about the afterlife. faithlabshow.com/support ★ Support this podcast ★
