Can History Prove The Resurrection? | 1 Corinthians 15:1-7

During Holy Week, Wesley Todd, joined by Pastor Joel Webbon and Antonio Griffith, reads 1 Corinthians 15:1–7 and argues that Christianity hinges on Jesus’ bodily resurrection as the seal of His saving work and the basis of Christian hope. They outline early evidence for the resurrection, including Paul’s use of an earlier creed within two decades of the crucifixion, the independent Gospel accounts with specific and “embarrassing” details, and the public setting of Jerusalem with claims of appearances to many, including over 500. They also cite non-biblical, often hostile sources—Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny, a Talmud passage, Clement of Rome, and early anti-Christian mockery—to show the crucifixion and resurrection claims were widely circulated early. They address objections like hallucination, bereavement experiences, and body-theft theories, concluding history can strongly support the case but cannot produce absolute certainty without faith, since unbelief is ultimately moral and spiritual rather than merely intellectual.
