Historicity, Divinity, the Resurrection Concerning Jesus Historicity, Divinity, the Resurrection By Stephen Curto For Homegroup December 2, 2018

Historicity Definition The question of the degree to which current records of Jesus relay the historical facts of the man, if he existed. i.e. Did Jesus really exist, and how do we know?

Historicity Historical Records Christian Non-Christian Gospels (Mathew, Mark, Luke, John) Epistolary References (Remaining New Testament) Church Fathers (Clement, Polycarp, Irenaeus, etc.) Non-Christian Gnostic Gospels (Thomas, Peter, Barnabas, etc.) Historians (Josephus, Thallus, Tacitus, Pliny, etc.) Philosophers/Writers (Lucian of Samosata, Mara Bar Serapion, etc.) Religious Texts (Talmuds, Koran, Toledoth Jesus, etc.)

Historicity Qualities of Christian Sources Internally consistent/cohesive story between Testaments and converts thereof Geographically verifiable Realistic or fictionalized? Effect on History What year is it? Western Civilization Science

What IS Christianity?

The Resurrection The resurrection is THE central tenant of Christianity. Christ’s resurrection, and thus the hope of our own in the future, IS Christianity. 1 Corinthians 15:1-26

The Resurrection The final line of defense for the “atheist” I can’t deny the existence of truth… …so I can’t deny the existence of God… …so I can’t deny the Bible’s veracity… …so I can’t deny the existence of Jesus as a historical figure… …so I can’t deny that he was from God… … but I’ll still deny that he came back from the dead!

The Resurrection Denial of the resurrection is nothing new. Matthew 28:11-15 Modern Denials of the resurrection: The Unknown Tomb The Wrong Tomb Theory The Hallucination Theory The Body Was Stolen By the Disciples Existential Resurrection View Swoon Theory Existential resurrection (Jesus is in the tomb, but it doesn’t matter, cause Christ was raised in your heart.- Marcus Borg)
