Ep. 3 | What Did Christians Believe Within the First 24 Months of the Resurrection?
October 16, 2023
How do we know what the first Christians believed? Why are secular historians now increasingly convinced the Gospel accounts are based on eyewitness testimonies? Join Dr. Ankerberg as he interviews Dr. Gary Habermas, considered the world’s foremost authority on the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, for the groundbreaking evidence upending academic studies today. Current research reveals many of the statements found in the apostle Paul’s writings are based on creeds that existed before his writings, including the time prior to his conversion to Christianity. This points to written evidence for the resurrection within only two years after the resurrection. This was not legend, but rather eyewitness tradition passed on from Jesus and His earliest followers. The information in these two fascinating programs is vital for anyone seeking evidence to support the accuracy of the gospel message.
