MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[Minimalist]

Corinth, in the mid-first century AD was not a major city. In fact, some 20 years later Vespasian had to "re-found" the colony because it was an abject failure. The second time it did begin to grow and was visited by the Greek geographer, Pausanias, during the reign of Hadrian. Oddly, in spite of his interest in various cults, Pausanias detected no jews or xtians in Corinth in the mid second century, AD. Curious but probably not to a dickhead like you.
