As we can all see, Minimalist is having a melt-down because the "minimalist facts" approach has him flummoxed. Sweet!

Quote:Especially when the reliability of the NT is at the very heart of the matter.  You can't expect one to take your attempts at proving the resurrection via historical accounts if the history surrounding the creation of the gospels - the claim you're trying to prove - is off limits.

You can't just say "For this exercise, we'll assume it happened" if you want to be taken seriously at all.

We're assuming nothing. That's kinda the whole point.

And as you can see from the OP, the reliability of the NT is not necessary to make the case that Jesus rose from the dead.
