The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

[Bucky Ball]

Or, as New Testament scholar N.T. Wright put it: "That is why, as a historian, I cannot explain the rise of early Christianity unless Jesus Christ rose from the dead, leaving an Empty Tomb behind in Him".

.

As a historian he should have been asking why Matt and Mark said Pete first saw the risen Josh in the Galilee while Luke and John said Pete first saw the risen Josh in Jerusalem.

... and why the original Mark had no resurrection. 
There is no tradition of the "exalted" Jewish heroes in "apocalypticism" being brought back to life. 
The sect(s) of Judaism which believed in resurrection of the dead, thought it would happen "at the end of times", not before.
