The criteria of embarrassment is important. Every Christian should take it seriously, and so should every historian.

A story of a few women coming upon an empty tomb may not be that exciting. Normally we might think that all they have done is discovered a grave robbery, or a mistaken burial plot.

Most people accept that at some point soon after the death of Jesus people began having experiences that are genuinely preserved in memory as being resurrection experiences.

The point is that you are fighting the wrong battle. The threat against you is not the government trying to force churches to marry homosexuals. The threat against you is the alliance between government and religion.

I intend to make my final argument for the virtue of the spiritual resurrection by addressing this common sense approach to the resurrection.

There is a growing movement in the evangelical form of Christianity, and it is being heralded by an up-and-coming theologian named Dr. Michael Brown. I have heard relatively little from this man, but I can tell you that his message packs a punch, and it is only a matter of time before this guy takes the place of other great Bible bashers like RC Sproul and Norman Geisler.
