Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

[Jenny A]

There is lots of proof that Jesus was dead including this special report from the Journal of the American Medical Association:

On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ
William D. Edwards, MD; Wesley J. Gabel, MDiv; Floyd E. Hosmer, MS, AMI

No, it's the SAME evidence over and over and over, i.e. the gospels.  The report relies not just on Jesus' crucifixion, but all of the details given about it in the gospels. The report acknowledges that in this little disclaimer at the beginning:

The source material concerning Christ’s death comprises a body of literature and not a physical body or its skeletal remains. Accordingly, the credibility of any discussion of Jesus’ death will be determined primarily by the credibility of one’s sources.

The authors then accept the gospels as accurate. They appear to accept the Shroud of Turin as Jesus' actual burial cloth. Idiots.
