About this episode

Dr. Trent Dougherty discusses the historical evidence supporting the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Blessed Triduum, friends. To ring in Holy Week and soon the Easter season philosopher and theologian Dr. Trent Dougherty is here to make the case that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a matter of faith it's historically defensible. Using the "Three E's" framework (Empty Tomb, Eyewitnesses, and Early Creeds), he walks through why secular scholars and believers alike have strong rational grounds for concluding that the Resurrection actually happened.
