Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

How so?

The disciples claimed that they saw Jesus alive.

If the body was still in the tomb, all the Jews (or Romans) had to do was to produce the corpse and Christianity would have ended right then.

Instead, even the Jews acknowledged that the tomb was empty.

(They accused the disciples of stealing the body.)
