Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
RE: Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
Dumb question: how are Randy's 3rd and 4th facts even relevant to what he's trying to prove? Admittedly, I'm not intimately familiar with all of the Jesus story. I grew up Catholic, but that was more on the cultural side than the religious side. I know Jesus was supposedly killed because he was considered a criminal/upstart, and that he supposedly rose from the grave three days later.

But, why are people's changes of heart even meaningful to the events in question? Yeah, they add to the narrative of the effects Jesus' sacrifice had on people, but why are they relevant to the actual events? The argument presented isn't that Jesus was a good guy, or that his sacrifice changed people's hearts, but that he came back to life after death.
