The Necessity of the Resurrection

This episode examines Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 15 and why the physical resurrection of Jesus is non‑negotiable for Christian belief. We look at how Greek philosophy influenced Corinth, how Scripture describes our future resurrected bodies, and why Paul insists that if Christ has not been raised, faith itself is empty. The episode reviews biblical evidence such as the empty tomb, women as eyewitnesses, the disciples’ boldness, and the appearance to more than 500 people. It also explores non‑Christian historical sources that affirm Jesus lived, was crucified, and was believed to have risen. Together, the biblical and historical record point to one conclusion: the resurrection is both credible and life‑changing.
